> This is feature request or attempt to make Emacs more beginner
> friendly:
>
> When one goes into Info file, there is sentence:
>
> Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time
> display editor.
>
> In my opinion, those terms are special in Emacs, and should be
> described as terms in the Glossary section of Emacs Info file.
