[Babel] Inaccuracy in Sec. 14.8.2.13 `:noweb' of the manual

Hi all,

There seems to be a wrong statement in the description of the value 'strip-export' of header :noweb (Sec. 14.8.2.13) of the manual:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
`strip-export' "Noweb" syntax references in the body of the code
block will be expanded before the block is evaluated or tangled.
However, "noweb" syntax references will not be removed when the
code block is exported.
#+END_EXAMPLE
The last phrase states that the noweb reference *will not be removed* but after trying it out with the last ELPA version of org (July 3rd), it turns out that *it is removed* (which makes sense given the name).

Happy 4th of July to all our friends on the other side of the Atlantic (as well as to the one(s) "lost" in the middle of the Pacific).

Christophe

Programming languages teach you not to want what they cannot provide.  You have to think in a language to write programs in it, and it's hard to want something you can't describe.

Yes, you're right; it should be:

    However, "noweb" syntax references will be stripped when the code block is
    exported.
