I'm not so sure about this. I mean, symify doesn't convey immediately what
it does. The FAQ is a friendly document and is usually the first place I
look when bizarre problems occur. Whether this is true of most newbies or
not is another question. When I was learning, I read most of the FAQ. So
IMHO it might be better to leave the info in the FAQ. The patch I sent
links directly to the relevant sections in the FAQ info file - this may be
enough.

Bye,
