"Quibble", thanks a lot.

How else do you get to functions from that library in the manual?

Your bug report was considered and rejected.  Why do you continue
arguing instead of accepting the decision?  This is a recurring
pattern with you, and one that makes it so unnecessarily hard handling
your bug reports.  People avoid responding to your bug reports because
of that.  I myself sometimes avoid them.  This is unnecessary, and
actually harms Emacs.

Please consider not arguing about decisions to close your bug reports.

> You can close any report that you don't think is helpful.

I already did.  But it doesn't seem to help, not with bugs filed by
you.
