If that's what these functions do, then yes. But only if the manual actually
explains things, i.e., provides the details. And wrt putting such a sentence in
the manual (not just in the doc strings), it needs to cross-reference the
precise node or nodes where this is explained.
This should be a no-brainer, at least in terms of need if not in terms of the
explanations to add. Today we in effect refer people to non-existent doc. We
do not explain this today.
