Now that I think about it, I realize that many Emacs users have not studied
the advanced mathematics where they would encounter the term "iff".
So I think it is better to avoid that term.

(I was the one who introduced it into Emacs doc strings.)


I have added this to TODO for fixing post-22 release.

** Avoid using "iff" in doc strings.

Even advanced mathematical textbooks usually explain this in an initial
section.  Maybe we could add a definition in the manuals.
