Sorry to be unclear.  Because this is about basic functionality it
should not be under "Specialized Modes and Packages" but under
"Changes in Emacs".  So I moved it there (or that is my intention, at
least).

Even if we kept it there, things under there usually do not have this format:

    * Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 28.1
    ...
    ** Library Name
    Text describing a particular feature

See NEWS.27, etc. for examples.
