Unclear documentation about .eventlog's spark information flag

Unclear documentation about .eventlog's spark information flag

GHC 7.4.1 RC 1 User's Guide just describes that -l option's p flag enable/disable sampled result and f enable/disable flag fully accurate result.

But when enabled f without enabled p flag, .eventlog file doesn't have any useful information about sparks.

$ ./ParallelTest +RTS -l-af
$ ./ParallelTest +RTS -l-pf

If f flag requires p flag, please document that or change f flag's behavior.
