Fair enough. Read it that way then, if you
want to quibble.
To me, it doesn't belong - it shouldn't be
present, because I don't see it as especially
useful. But I'll be glad to learn how it is.
You don't say why it's useful. In particular,
why is it more useful than an entry that could
be added for some other library? What's so
useful about this entry for this library?

I should file a bug report when I think it can
help improve Emacs. And that's what I do.
Please don't tell others when or whether they
_should_ file bug reports. You can close any
report that you don't think is helpful.
