Adding new stuff (like documentation) is now mandatory part of bugfix ?
I'd expect bugfixes to be taken in to actually fix bugs and not kept out
of the tree because the submitter didn't also do another random chore.

Also, I do not know what else should I say besides that the symbol name
is incorrect and you can clearly see it. If that is not enough ...

You were the only one who responded, but I'm fine if Tom or whoever picks
this.
