How is this and the following text relevant to the bug report?  If you
want to suggest that a similar implementation be included in Emacs, it
is enough to mention the existence of the solution.  You could also
describe your proposed implementation, while you are at that, as that
gives ideas for our internal implementation.

But quoting a long documentation string adds nothing to the bug
report, and looks like a shameless plug to me.  It also makes the bug
report harder to read.  Please don't clutter the bug tracker with such
useless information.
