Ah, there we disagree!

It was an unfortunate incorrect use of the word `correct' but the
I didnt want to claim the "current manual is not correct"

I was operating under the assumption of a wider audience, of users who
are not slime developers, including those who may also be learning
emacs simultaneously with slime.

This misses the point of an index.
