I cannot accept that, sorry.  At least not yet.

I actually still don't understand what practical problem are we trying
to solve here.  There's no code change, so what the code did until now
it will continue to do henceforth.  CL and other lisps also won't
change by virtue of this patch.  So why do we worry what those doc
strings say?

Fix what? what is the problem?
