I think a few more words when a NULL @connector here would be great,
essentially what you've written already in the changelog. Plus then in
patch 2 add a cross-link here to the new function your adding - that
happens automatically if you append ().

btw pls also check the generated output using

$ make DOCBOOKS="" htmldocs

to make sure the links are all pretty.
