Subject: bug#22104: 25.1.50; doc string of `modify-frame-parameters'
Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2015 19:58:11 -0800 (PST)

This part of the doc string is unclear:

 Undefined PARMs are ignored, but stored in the frame's parameter list
 so that 'frame-parameters' will return them.

What does "ignored" mean here?  It can only mean (?) ignored by
`modify-parameters', but what does that mean, operationally?

The rest of the sentence would lead you to think that
`modify-parameters' nevertheless updates the parameter list for 
"ignored" parameters.  But then in what way are they ignored?
