Oh no - not literally!  Anyway - thanks for this important hint.

Is installing this ok for everyone (Lars?)?  I don't think anyone will
miss the never intended behavior.

Subject: [PATCH] `term-char-mode' doc string correction

This reverts 16860f6c5f "`term-char-mode' doc string clarification".
Making switching to `term-char-mode' send partially given input
obviously was changed by accident (in 5653b76d0b "Fix minor
compilation issues with cl-lib and lexbind").

See Bug#44087, Bug#49186 and Bug#56110.

* lisp/term.el (term-char-mode): Restore the version of the docstring
describing the originally intended behavior.  Break an overlong line.
