Subject: 24.3.50; doc of `next-frame'
Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2013 10:56:41 -0800

The doc (both doc string and Elisp manual) is unclear for the default
case where argument MINIFRAME/MINIBUF is nil.  (BTW, the same parameter
name should be used here for the doc string and the manual.)
 
What is unclear is which frames are _included_ in this case.  The only
thing we are told is that minibuffer-only frames are _excluded_.  Does
that mean that all other frames are included?  Or only visible frames?
Or only visible or iconified frames?
 
Other values of this argument make clear which frames are included, but
the doc for a nil value of the argument is incomplete.
