That seems the most appropriate

No, I think not.. What I was commenting on was that the doc string
says:
"Note that you have to set additional variables for most backends.  For
example, the `wais' backend needs the variables `nnir-wais-program',
`nnir-wais-database' and `nnir-wais-remove-prefix'.

When in fact most people will not have to set the `remove prefix' but
will have to set the other two.

It wasn't a complaint, or cause for change, only made me wonder if I
should have been setting that explicitly, which of course would hurt
nothing.
