face-font-rescale-alist not documented

It seems that the new `face-font-rescale-alist' variable isn't
documented.

?? I wrote the docstring as this (in xfaces.c).

  DEFVAR_LISP ("face-font-rescale-alist", &Vface_font_rescale_alist,
	       doc: /* Alist of fonts vs the rescaling factors.
Each element is a cons (FONT-NAME-PATTERN . RESCALE-RATIO), where
FONT-NAME-PATTERN is a regular expression matching a font name, and
RESCALE-RATIO is a floating point number to specify how much larger
\(or smaller) font we should use.  For instance, if a face requests
a font of 10 point, we actually use a font of 10 * RESCALE-RATIO point.  */);

But, hmmm, something is wrong.  C-x v
face-font-rescale-alist RET surely shows the above
docstring, but there are two empty lines after the first
line in *Help* in my case!?!

Sorry for being imprecise.  I couldn't find an entry in the NEWS file
or in any of the texinfo documents.  How shall the user know that
this variable exist at all?

    documented.

Which kind of documentation does it lack?

Ah!  I forgot to commit NEWS.  Just done.

** The variable `face-font-rescale-alist' specifies how much larger
(or smaller) font we should use.  For instance, if the value is
'((SOME-FONTNAME-PATTERN . 1.3) and a face requests a font of 10
point, we actually use a font of 13 point if the font matches
SOME-FONTNAME-PATTERN.
