    In the doc strings for `search-forward' and `search-backward' the 
    argument names "bound" etc are not mentioned. Instead the doc strings 
    just says:

	Optional third argument, if t, ...

    Should not the names be mentioned?

It is better to mention the names, but I'd rather not go on a campaign
just now to change them all.
