Well, okay. Bear with me a moment because I need to calibrate to the
community norms.

Is the consensus that this is not a "bug fix"? Because I know what the
feature does, but I cannot understand the current paragraph without
rereading it several times.

I know it's okay, but I *want* to backpatch, and I would have
yesterday except for your email. Does that raise concerns or cause
problems in practice? (Should I drop this as not a battle really worth
having? Clearly nothing is exploding; I just don't get why docs
contributors have to wait ten months for improvements to land if
everyone says "oh yeah, that's better.")

Yes.
