I agree, Eli. Why I applaud the desire for correctness, if something in our
documentation isn't actively producing user confusion, there is no pressing
need to be pedantic. I think "End of buffer" is colloquially understood to be
where M-> takes you, and I've never found myself troubled by the fact that, at
times, there might be more text after that point.
