It looked like most everybody was in agreement with this patch, and it
fixes the (apply nil) crash, so I've applied it to Emacs 28 now.

There was some followup on the details of the documentation, with
several suggested patches, and now that this is on the trunk, people can
go ahead and tweak it as they like, and I'm closing this bug report.
