Manual isn't clear about where $(error) and $(warning) write to

I have 3.81.90 (cvs).

Under "Functions That Control Make"

It doesn't seem clear where $(warning) and $(error) get directed
(stderr).

$(info) is clear -- stdout.

Instead of saying:
        "the resulting message is displayed"
it would be more accurate to say
        "the resulting message is written to stderr"


Also, "Functions That Control Make" doesn't seem to be accurate 
(only $(error) controls make -- perhaps

"Functions to Display Information/Control Make"

(warning/info is a different class than error).
