R devel - Dec 2015 - typo in src/library/stats/man/family.Rd: names of 'validmu' and 'valideta' ??

under "Details" (version 2015-11-29 r69717; not quite cutting-edge,
but nothing has changed in src/library/stats/man/family.Rd in 5 months
[sorry for using the Github mirror, but I prefer the interface ...
<https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/stats/man/family.Rd>])
it says:

valid.mu: logical function.  Returns ?TRUE? if a mean vector ?mu? is
          within the domain of ?variance?.

valid.eta: logical function.  Returns ?TRUE? if a linear predictor
          ?eta? is within the domain of ?linkinv?.

However, the real names of these elements are "validmu" and
"valideta"
(no dots); try names(poisson()) or names(binomial()) and see ...

   Can someone on R-core fix this and save me the trouble of filing a
bug report ... ?

  Or have I misunderstood something?

  cheers

I don't think so.  It's fixed now.
