Re: documentation typo: `--terminal' fails

[Robert J. Chassell]

    But the documentation also doesn't mention that --terminal is
    a valid argument.  

Since it says      `--terminal' implies `--no-window-system'.
I think it is fair to presume that `--terminal' is a valid argument.

    I suggest we replace "`--terminal'" with
    "This argument" or just "This".

That does not make it the same as `--no-window-system' or `-nw' which
is how I understand the documentation
     `--terminal' implies `--no-window-system'.

Incidently, 
    (info "(emacs) Emacs Invocation")
says

    GNU Emacs supports command line arguments to request various actions
    when invoking Emacs.

`--terminal=DEVICE', `--display=DISPLAY', and `--no-window-system' are
called `initial options' both in that node and in the subnode
    (info "(emacs) Initial Options")

    The argument is not part of the option name.

Perhaps to an expert that is true, but when the documentation says
    `--terminal' implies `--no-window-system'
I do not expect it to mean
    `--terminal=DEVICE' implies `--no-window-system'
That is why I asked, 

    Perhaps this trouble is an ambiguity of the documentation?
