The docstring of defadvice says

See Info node `(elisp)Advising Functions' for comprehensive documentation.

This is no longer true. Also, while the old advice mechanism seems to 
have been be obsoleted, the help doesn't say so.

BTW, the nadvice info could use some more examples and a note on how to 
transition from defadvice. Kind of obvious, I know, but only in hindsight.
