This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time

He's right, this should be fixed in the manual. We can not
discriminate.

It's better to use C or other lower level language for genetic
analysis, isn't it?

Description:
------------
The following clause, while cute, should be removed: "and nobody
serious would be doing genetic analysis with PHP"

Sadly, many serious people use the obtusificated (spelling?) languate
Perl for many tasks such as this, however, in many ways I find PHP is
better than Perl (even for string handling) in the way it operates,
programs can be written faster, and sometimes run faster, are easier to
read and modify. OOP in PHP is much nicer as well. I have done this
professionally for a while, using both Perl and PHP for the tasks I had
to do, and PHP was definetly the easier option for making said programs,
even without using OOP (which seemed to slow it down).

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
n/a

Actual result:
--------------
n/a
