I grepped for '\biff\b' and got:
./info/message.info:625: header. (Iff `Cc' header is not present, `Bcc'
header will be
./info/autotype.info:231: Logical and. Iff preceding element moved point,
i.e., usually
./info/autotype.info:235: Logical xor. Iff preceding element didn't move
point, i.e.,
(+ entries explaining it, or saying not to use it)
Having no experience with the involved packages, I don't suggest a
patch.
