In this comment and elsewhere in the file, there are still some
mentions to 'manual'. This patch could be a good opportunity to rename
these occurrences into 'document' or something.

I'm unsure about these double dollars here. In none of the other
infras do we add double dollars for the UPPERCASE call, when going
from outer to inner infra. There was some discussion on this in the
dollar threads, but I currently don't remember all the details.
Shouldn't we follow the same strategy as for the other infras here and
use single dollars for this UPPERCASE call?

Side note on this patch: it was not trivial to review this patch: it
combines the addition of the new argument with the shifting off
arguments 2-... It could have been more easy by first introducing the
argument as last one, and then performing the shift in another patch.
Anyway, I was able to review it using graphical diff, and aside from
the comments above this looks good.

Best regards,
Thomas
