Thanks; I missed that.

Where do you see it in 26.3?  I didn't find it there.
I don't see it there in either of those doc strings.
I don't see it in the Emacs manual, where those
commands are doc'd (or anywhere else).  I don't see
it in the Elisp manual.  But I haven't had any coffee
yet this morning...
