Thanks!
See the attached final draft.
I amended removals of cindex entries in the manual - redundancy will not
hurt here (for better searchability).
I also slightly adjusted the wording and fixed list indentation in
one of description list items.
Finally, I detailed all the changes in the commit message and added
TINYCHANGE cookie.

Let me know if you are ok with this version.

Please note that with this patch your total contribution is approaching

I suspect that it is greedy fontification. =--= is a part of diff
syntax, AFAIK. May report is as a bug to Emacs.
