And, rather important:

 * Manpages for plot() and par() are incomplete. axes= is missing and
so is lwd=, e.g. It's on the plot.default() page, but it needs to be
duplicated on plot(), or plot() needs to refer more explicitly to
plot.default(), than "See also". Similar notes regarding barplot() and
hist().
