Doesn't seem urgent: we've had this forever, didn't we?

Doesn't seem to be very important or urgent, but since it's highly
localized, I don't mind back-porting it.

I don't think this is important enough, but you could try convincing
me by telling more details, including when this was introduced.

Since this is very localized, it's fine with me.

OK.

Documentation changes are always safe on the release branch.

OK.

OK

I'm uneasy with this, as it would indirectly affect many functions.
Can't this wait for Emacs 28?
