And added it as patch #33 to my documentation todo heap. Now the merge  
window's worked its way through I should filter out the ones other  
people sent upstream and flush the queue. (Since everybody and their  
dog grabs documentation patches, forwarding 'em promptly just causes  
dupes, but it's about time to see what didn't already make it...)
