This function returns a list equal to its argument, in a plain list

This exists and was a typo for ConstantTimeAccessList

That said, I don't think this sentence was helpful, so I am fine with removing it :-)

Should we say here that it is a kernel function, in case people wonder where to find it?

(I am also fine with merging as-is, just wondering)

I've now moved the documentation inline in the doc XML, because it was weird here -- but maybe that's a bad idea too. We could start scanning C code for GAPDoc?

In doc/ref/makedocreldata.g we already list src/sysfiles.c and could add more. I would in fact suggest that we change that file to not hardcode the list of files to scan, but rather to scan all files src/*.{c,h}, lib/*.{gd,gi}, etc., but of course that goes way beyond the scope of this PR ;-)
