I included one example command line below about how to create symbol

Ah, yes. When using -fsave-repository=@var{location}, is location a
directory? If so, I suggest to use "directory" instead of "location".
(If not, what is location?)
location is directory. I'll change it to use "directory".
Note that this sentence states that there is just a single such file.
Yes. In one compiler invocation you can make only one symbol
repository.
However in one compiler invocation you can use more than one symbol
repository.
And several symbol repositories can reside at the same location?
And one symbol respository corresponds to one include file?
Yes in both cases.
(Adding answers, explicitly or implicitly, too these questions would
help someone not as familiar with symbol separation, I believe.)
Since I know this well, it is obvious to me. But you are correct, I will
try to clarify these in documentation.
So, I would like to hear comments about core-parts of implementation
before I make another patch. It is OK if core-part's approval comes
with
a condition to get OK from you and Joseph about documentation before
final commit.
I think that's fair, and I'm actually willing to offer a deal: when/if
you have approval for the core-part, go ahead without waiting for
approval
of the documentation _provided_ you are available to address any
further
documentation issues afterwards.
That's great. Thank you very much.
