Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for the detailed report and the suggestion.

In my opinion, the whole "Hard links" node could read a bit better
regarding the style: it describes more what "you could" do instead
of how find processes the -samefile option.

Thus, I'm not 100% happy with the suggested change - still I'm
grateful that we have it as basis for discussion (which is very
valuable). Thanks again for that.
I'll try to come up with something else, and then we can discuss
what reads best for the user.
