I believe \e is now working as intended but assuming it worked differently
in 9.6 the behavior change did not get noticed and so no release note entry
was added for it.  Adding the new \if meta commands in v10 resulted in
reworking of the code probably causing this to change.  We fixed the docs
to match the expected behavior which was seen in v10 when the doc patch was
written.
