It's too early to send bug reports about the Emacs 24 manuals, for
significant changes that are mentioned in NEWS without either the
"+++" or the "---" markers.  Those unmarked NEWS entries will be
reviewed when Emacs 24 is close to pretest, and the relevant manual
sections fixed to fit the changes.  This is a routine part of
preparations for pretesting a new major release.

Of course, volunteers are welcome to send patches for the manuals
before that; if accepted, we could mark the NEWS entries with "+++"
(meaning they are already documented).  But having a bug report about
that at this time serves no useful purpose.  It just artificially
bloats the list of "unresolved" bugs.

So I would suggest to close this bug report.
