Copying over from the other thread, if you want to keep priorities, ok.
Otherwise, you'll need to remove them from the documentation below.

Copying from discussion in the other thread, how about:
"... will be marked as ``not saved'' in the pending frame being unwound."
Or one could say both:
"... will be marked as ``not saved'' in the outer frame (the pending
frame being unwound)."
Or some such.
