The default sentinel is documented with the set-process-sentinel
function:

 -- Function: set-process-sentinel process sentinel
     This function associates SENTINEL with PROCESS.  If SENTINEL is
     `nil', then the process will have the default sentinel, which
     inserts a message in the process's buffer when the process status
     changes.

Maybe this is not prominent enough, and we should say this in a few
more places.  Other than that, what else do you think should be said
about the default sentinel?

Thanks.
