Fixed. My original argument was that UniformityAnalysis on AMDGPU returns "uniform" for things like `readfirstlane`, without qualifying it with "wave". But it's not very convincing. I realized that documentation must focus on being correct, and should not be influenced by the _implementation_. Maybe when we get serious with other scopes like "workgroup" we will eventually incorporate that into UA.
