You've asked to add a reference to -var-update. There was already -var-update
anchor. However, that anchor was pointing in the middle of -var-update documentaiton,
so following the reference would land the reader at list of some attributes, which
would be confusing. And it seems that calling anchor for entire -var-update docs
as -var-update is more reasonable then using -var-update anchor for the list
of fields output by -var-update.

Does this clarify things?
