"-symbols NAME" is a typo, should be "-symbol NAME".
Any preference on keeping or removing the "(s)" in the description, e.g.
Only output documentation for the given function(s) or DOC: section title(s).
versus:
Only output documentation for the given symbol or DOC: section title.
I think it makes sense to drop the "(s)" as each option can only specify a
single symbole, i.e. the "(s)" behavior is covered by "May be specified
multiple times."
