I'm sorry, but this change really needs a changelog text. The reader
can make a guess as to what is going on, but why make them guess?
Thanks,

The symbol WALK_GET does not appears in the codebase as of
0031c06807cfa8aa. It was renamed as of 8f64fb1ccef33107. A previous
documentation update, de9414adafe4, renamed one occurrence in
path-lookup.rst, but forgot to change another occurrence later in the
file.
