If you are playing this trick where is this documentation, I do not see 
it in doc/*.texi at
all.  There is only one reference to it in doc and that is the 
documentation for c-trees
(which is a little lacking by the way but it was added the fact) and it 
just says:

Normally these expressions will reference a field in the
outer object using a @code{PLACEHOLDER_EXPR}.
