Generally such cases answer themselves when people try to create their 
minimally small examples.  That's one of the reasons we insist on them.  :)

If somebody creates a minimally small false bug report, I'll take that 
as good evidence that I need to update the relevant doc pages.

necessary for the small additions.


I've updated these in git; it may take an hour or two before they're 
visible on the website.
