commit 8e95c9505d7442ed72868a422c7f7db604ef551d
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Sun Aug 23 09:41:27 2026 -0500
[doc,man]: Relocate and clarify `rm`, `rr` caveat.
* Move this "Other differences" item up to follow the point about
removal of read-only registers, since it's topically similar.
* Recast for conceptual precision. The request arguments themselves
aren't "removed" in any unusual sense; the objects to which they refer
_are_.
