Then we need to find the right node to cross-reference.  That is no
reason to close the bug.

The point is to BE more helpful than the current reference, which
just tosses the user into a swamp of Semantic doc.

It is up to Emacs (which has now incorporated Semantic) to HELP
the user here.

If that means spending some time to find the best Semantic manual
node to cross-reference, so be it.

No one said that fixing bugs is as simple as closing them without
bothering.  This should be left open until it is fixed.
