Change the programmers manual. At some point, somebody wanted these
functions to be able to accept variable arguments, and I see no reason
(logical or software engineering wise) at this time to change them back
to a single string. Besides, changing the manual is less work than
changing several different places in the code.
Just my 2 cents worth.
