Our priority is to make our documentation as clear as possible for users
of varied skill levels and backgrounds. This sometimes means adding
explanations that may seem redundant (or even tautological) to Emacs
developers.
In particular, we can't assume that readers are familiar with all of our
nomenclature, especially not when it's as obscure as "Nextstep means
macOS and Gnustep".
That said, I think the above text should be updated to read "window
systems other than macOS and GNUstep (Nextstep)", so I did that now.
