[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

msdos.texi refers to the w32-(add|remove)-untranslated-filesystem functions
by their obsolete, non w32- name.

OK to install this patch, or were the old names kept in the manual for some
reason?

BTW, it's generally uncontroversial to replace obsolete names in our
documentation with their new ones.

I've fixed quite a few such documentation bugs, and in all cases I've
seen so far, it was a just an oversight/mistake that the old names were
kept.

Yeah, you're right and I supposed as much, but sometimes there are
unexpected assumptions. There's no harm in asking.
