Subject: 24.3.50; doc strings of `next-line', `previous-line'
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 08:35:54 -0700 (PDT)

The doc strings need to describe the input parameters to the function.
In particular, nothing is said about TRY-VSCROLL.

(And no, this function is not excluded from use in Lisp.  See the first
word of the second doc-string sentence ("Interactively"), and read the
rationale for the advice in the last paragraph.)
