The manual is wrong (unfortunately).  This behavior has always
irritated me, but here we are.

 What should zap-to-char do? 
What it does.

 I wish changing the function rather than the doc was a viable
option,
 as it seems more useful for interactive use if zapping up to, but not
 including, the character. 
It's worked the way it does for a very long time.  Perhaps we could
add `zap-up-to-char'?  After all the Roman Numeral editor handles both 
with `d f <char>' and `d t <char>'.  I must admit to using the latter
far more often than the former.
