Presently, the blurb: |The notation ``Gnulib module: ---'' means that Gnulib does not provide a |module providing a substitute for the function. When the list |``Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib'' is empty, such a module is |not needed: No portability problems are known. Otherwise, it indicates |that such a module would be useful but is not available: No one so far |found this function important enough to contribute a substitute for it. |If you need this particular function, you may write to |@code{<bug-gnulib at gnu dot org>}.
is in @node "Function Substitutes", which comes after usage of that notation in the preceding @node "Header File Substitutes". I think it would good to move it to its own section under "Miscellaneous Notes" and then @xref to it. I can provide a patch if there is interest. thi
