I have only Emacs 26.3 - the latest release, and the
release I reported on. That text is not in the doc string.

> perform-replace:
> 
>     Non-nil REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P means that the region is composed of

That too is missing from Emacs 26.3.

If you feel that this bug is completely fixed in
Emacs 27, please close it as "fixed".  Thx.
