Regarding where to document function find-function-update-type-alist and 
variable find-function-regexp-alist, Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> wrote:

We could.  I'd be happy to push this and call it done.

But it feels like it is in the wrong place.  Mostly, the
section "Standard Symbol Properties" is a compact list of all
the standard properties, and mostly it gives a short summary
for each and xrefs the section containing a thorough
discussion.  The part about definition-name and
find-function-type-alist is the only part that is more than
one paragraph long, and this would make it at least two
paragraphs longer.

I'd like to treat definition-name and find-function-type-alist
the same as the others:  discuss them thoroughly in their own
section, and reduce this section to a short paragraph with a
cross reference.
