(elisp) `Text Lines' documents `(beginning|end)-of-line'.  It doesn't
document `move-(beginning|end)-of-line'.  The Emacs manual documents
the latter and not the former.  Is this the best approach, or did the
Elisp manual perhaps just not get updated when `C-a' and `C-e' were
changed to use the `move-*' commands?

It looks like Lisp programs use beginning-of-line and end-of-line
overwhelmingly more than the move-* counterparts, so it seems like the
discrepancy is actually justified.

So I'm closing this bug report.
