Thanks, but what I'm trying to do is arrange the new multi-tty
functions into some logical order of a few sections. These are not
limited to frame creation functions, see the corresponding portion of
etc/NEWS.
Maybe I should just stop trying to describe them together, and instead
put every function where it belongs elsewhere in the manual...
