| For some procedures, notably type predicates, we use "iff" to mean

I don't know your documentation conventions, but I would write the
following:
@cindex iff
For some procedures, notably type predicates, we use @dfn{iff} to
mean `if and only if'. The construct is usually something like:
`Return @var{Val} iff @var{Condition}', where @var{Val} is usually
address@hidden' or address@hidden'. This typically means that @var{Val}
is returned if @var{Condition} holds, and that @samp{#f} is returned
otherwise.
