Why try to be terse or brief? This is the reference manual; it's more
important to be clear and complete, no?
Also, I don't think it's cool to use `==' in the reference manual;
it's supposed to be English. :)
As a special case, if @var{upper} is zero, then the memory
region ends at the top of the address space.
