Spawned off of bug #68284.
While we say this:
5.8.5 Built-in Registers
------------------------
Predefined registers whose identifiers start with a dot are read-only.
Many are Boolean-valued, interpolating a true or false value testable
with the 'if', 'ie', or 'while' requests.
Dave points out that people using our Texinfo manual as a reference or
otherwise are looking stuff up in a hurry could benefit from the added
adjective.
