-The first clause that matches the group name will be used.
+All clauses that matches the group name will be used, but the last
+setting ``wins''.  So if you have two clauses that both match the
+group name, and both set, say @code{display}, the last setting will
+override the first.
 
 Parameters that are strings will be subjected to regexp substitution,
 as the @code{to-group} example shows.
