Subject: 23.0.60; Elisp manual node Insertion

This sentence is less clear than it could be:
 
"Insertion relocates markers that point at positions after the
insertion point, so that they stay with the surrounding text (*note
Markers::)."
 
We shouldn't use the verb "point" in this way; it invites confusion
with the nown "point". Something like this is better:
 
"Insertion moves markers located at positions after the insertion
point, so that they stay with the surrounding text (*note Markers::)."
