That sounds sensible.  In the past we've said that new features do
not need to be documented in the same patch that adds it.

Here I disagree slightly; it would be really good if new features
were covered by the regtests as soon as they were added, so that
we have a chance of noticing when they break.  It doesn't need to
be in a new regtest; adding it to an exising regtest is fine.
