Hello,

the first arg of loaddefs-generate has the name DIR but the first
sentence names it DIRS.

While that argument can be a dir or a list of dirs, this first sentence
breaks our rules.

Would it be worth to name the argument "DIR-OR-DIRS" for discoverability
- or should the docstring just say

"Generate loaddefs files for Lisp files in DIR.
DIR can be either a single directory or a list of directories.
[...]" ?

TIA,

Michael.
