I was looking for it, because I read about it in section about
creating tables. So it is quite a likely scenario for a new user as
well. Since the doc has 100 pages, using search function seems
logical to locate specific items.

I have never bothered to read kernel doc for 1.x except looking up a
few specific items a couple of times. I regularly use the
environment-specific doc only. All the essential info is repeated
there and in a format easier for processing.
