OK, I agree.

I agree.  After I closed the parenthetical expression I failed to
reread the sentence.  Now the 'of' makes perfect sense.

I'll do that.

Thanks, Gerald.

When it comes to documentation, we're generally not that strict. :-)

That said: Tom, I believe the patch introduces a number of problems 
coming from too mechanical an approach.

Specifically, in 

 -continues until a non-array type is found, and the qualification of this
 -type is examined.)  So, for example, @code{CP_TYPE_CONST_P} will hold of
 -the type @code{const int ()[7]}, denoting an array of seven @code{int}s.
 +continues until a non-array type is found and the qualification of its
 +type is examined.)  So, for example, @code{CP_TYPE_CONST_P} will hold
 +for the type @code{const int ()[7]}, denoting an array of seven @code{int}s.

the part that replaces "this type" by "its type" doesn't seem right.
And in 

  Used to mark the beginning (if @code{CTOR_BEGIN_P} holds) or end (if
 -@code{CTOR_END_P} holds of the main body of a constructor.  See also
 +@code{CTOR_END_P} holds) for the main body of a constructor.  See also
  @code{SUBOBJECT} for more information on how to use these nodes.

adding the closing parenthesis is a valid fix, but replacing "of" by
"for" does not seem right.

The patch is fine (approved) if you fix these two aspects.

Thanks,
Gerald

Sorry, Tom, I don't think this qualifies as obvious and I cannot approve
it -- this is not an area I am a maintainer of.  If you're still after
approval, I suggest sending a ping and Cc'ing the maintainers you think
cover the change (probably Joseph).

Cheers, Ben

Ben, could I get your support for this attempted patch for the same
file?  Joseph is very busy, but this is one the order of yours.

I'm committing the following as obvious.  I'm reasonably certain to have
got the intended meaning correct here, but if I haven't, please let me
know.  In the meantime, I don't think this patch will make things
worse. :-)

Cheers, Ben
