Subject: bug#47054: Interlink docstrings of ‘delete’ and ‘remove’
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 19:12:37 +0200

The docstring of ‘delq’ links to ‘remq’:

  See also ‘remq’, which does not modify the argument.

The docstring of ‘remq’ links back to ‘delq’:

  Contrary to ‘delq’, this does not use side-effects,
  and the argument LIST is not modified.

Shouldn't docstrings of ‘delete’ and ‘remove’ do the same
and refer each other?
