   Those functions certainly should have doc strings, and adding some is
   a good thing to do.

Naturally.

   But that will not cure the larger problem caused by too much usage of
   those functions.  They were meant to be used in a few obsure corners,
   not used so often that maintainers need to know about them.

I know Emacs has many obscure corners.  But I didn't think that any were
beyond the reach of the maintainers.  ;-}
