That is a clear description for you and me, but it won't be clear to the sort of beginner who might need to read that part of the Info documentation. Also, the section has several examples which are just plain wrong for Emacs Info now. Inaccurate examples will tend to leave beginners wondering what they did wrong so as to get results that don't match the manual.
