Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Option_files.html

The example uses:
[mysql]
no-auto-rehash
set-variable = connect_timeout=2

But it should use:
[mysql]
no-auto-rehash
connect_timeout=2

How to repeat:

Use of deprecated syntax is not a bug. People running
MySQL 3.23 still need to use this syntax, so examples
of it are still appropriate.

But shouldn't the example at least mention it's using deprecated syntax?

That the syntax is deprecated is mentioned earlier in the same section.
