Each entry that is not already marked needs either to be documented,
or a decision should be made that it doesn't need to be.  See the
beginning of NEWS for the legend.

I'd prefer that people who never did this kind of job before in Emacs
ask here each time whether a certain entry should be reflected in
documentation or not, and then documenting those that should.

Please note that the doc strings of the code corresponding to each
entry should also be reviewed, to see if they are clear enough and
complete.  Bonus points for trying the feature and reporting any
unusual findings.

Thanks.
