I am posting this for someone else at his request.  He saw the problems
in Emacs 23 and requested that I check Emacs 24 and file a bug if the
problems are still present.  They are.
 
1. In `timer-activate', arg IDLE is not described at all.
2. In both functions, "the meaning of REUSE-CELL is quite mysterious".
