Otherwise I will merely bookmark your mail. What you need or not depends upon your usage scenario. I don't think =20 this belongs into the man page. If I document this in the handbook or =20 not, I haven't thought about (somehow I think I will not have the time =20 to do it). If someone takes my mail (after the code is committed), =20 adds some sentences and wants to commit this into the handbook, I =20 happily review the text.
