I confirmed that the text is there.  And I
reiterated that the enhancement request is
about a missing link, not missing text.

> Nothing is ever good enough, sigh.

Please don't take it personally.  There's
always room for improvement, yes.

I'm a writer, and every writer knows that
it's very easy to write something that can
be misunderstood, and that nearly everything
is ripe for a possible rewrite.

That added suggestion about "This manual"
is a nit - not important.  It's not what
this enhancement request is about.  I wrote
"BTW," and separated that minor suggestion
from the other text.

The enhancement request is just to add a
link to the Eintr manual from the Elisp
manual, preferably up front somewhere, e.g.
in the Introduction.
