It would be a useful additon to the help page to add 
 
integrate(dnorm, lower = -1.96, upper = 1.96, mean = 2, sd = 1)

as an example.
 
Thanks,

For instance integrate(dnorm, -1.96, 1.96) produces the correct answer for a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. I've tried two ways to use mean=2.0 and standard deviation 1, but with no luck. The examples follow.
