Thanks, I'm almost happy now.

I think it's a good addition, thanks.

I suggested to have this text after the command description.  In that
context, @var{from} and @var{to} refer to the command's arguments.
But you moved the description higher in the text, which made those
reference dangling.  So this needs to be reworded in some way.

This However is redundant here, I think.
