I understood that, and this is why I objected to mentioning modified
files in the doc string.

I'm certain that you didn't mean to mention something that is
unrelated to the option, as the above sentence seems to imply.

If ``user input'' is ambiguous, it would be okay to explain in more
clear manner what user input means.

It would be okay to explain that as well, so that the confusing text
is replaced with a more clear one.
But mentioning modified buffers is not the way to make these
explanations more clear, IMHO. On the contrary, it might make things
more confusing, since it makes the doc string less self-contained.
