Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this. The SQUASH is an update in
documentation (for a C function) (reproduced below [1]) which can be
squashed cleanly (just to confirm, I tried it using "git rebase -i").
It can also be rebased cleanly onto master or next (at least, as of
now).

If you are asking about whether I think the contents of your SQUASH
commit is reasonable, I think that it is.
