Proposed patch

Hi Weremaid,

> The documentation for --relax isn't clear about whether or not the use of
> --no-relax causes an error when the feature is not supported on a platform.

Personally I think that the documentation is OK as it is, but I do not object
to rewording it if you think that it will help.

> If I'm not mistaken, the conditional "On platforms where --relax is
> accepted" means "all platforms".

No, I would not agree with that.

> Imho, "[On all platforms,] --no-relax can be used to disable the feature"
> should then also distinguish between supported and merely ignored.

OK.

> There's a patch with a proposal attached.

The patch is a good start, but I think that if we are clarifying this text then
we can go further and make things even more straightforward.  What do you think
of this revised version of your patch ?

Cheers
  Nick
