Yes of course.

Indeed, remarkable notes on the syntax of the functions.

Help must be fixed. The limit of 30 arguments is not valid anymore (I
checked for SUM() with >35 arguments) and 255 is the current limit as
indicated in the wizard.

Other issues:
these 255 arguments can be cell ranges too and Help says Numbers or
Integers.

When a function expect and integer (e.g. GCD), the calculation is
performed with the integer part of the number

For GCD, no mention that numbers must be positive.

and more...

Kind Regards
