1. The doc for `called-interactively-p' and interactive-p is still a
mess.
 
The doc string for `called-interactively-p' says it has one mandatory
arg. The Elisp manual says it has none. Which is it? The doc string
says that with arg `any' it returns t when in `noninteractive' mode.
The manual says the exact opposite: it returns t if `noninteractive'
is nil.
 
And the `interactive-p' doc string says that it is is obsolete, whereas
the manual documents it normally. Which is it?
 
2. Why isn't the arg for `called-interactively-p' optional, as I
proposed in the bug #3936 thread? Or maybe it is, and the doc string
is wrong in that way too?
 
(called-interactively-p) raises no error with no arg. Calling it
with no arg seems to have the same effect as calling it with arg
`any'. And calling it with any arg other than `interactive' seems
to have the same effect as calling it with arg `any'. And calling
it with arg `interactive' seems to have the same effect as
function `interactive-p'.

All these doc issues were fixed some time ago.  Closing the bug.
