This text was added in response to explicit requests of users who
AFAIR had nothing to do with Lisp programming, so I think the place is

I see two potential homes for this: 21.12 "Scroll Bars" and 21.13
"Window Dividers".  We can mention it in both, one a full description,
the other just a short comment and a cross-reference.  WDYT?
