Just remove that.  We do not document those things at those places.
E.g. we do not document the list of special text-properties in the
set-text-property functions.

It's probably OK for window-parameters to return the alist itself, tho
a copy-alist wouldn't hurt.

OTOH I did miss the fact that window-parameter returns the cons-cell
rather than just the value of the parameter.  This is an error.

Also I think that set-window-parameter should not return the alist, but
the value just set (i.e. `val').
