My usage pattern is often that I `C-h f' some symbol, hit `s', and then
want to follow a chain of calls, so I normally don't return to the
*Help* buffer -- so I don't care whether it's buried or not in those
cases.

But sometimes I do want to look at what the manual says, in which case I
want to pop back to the *Help* buffer and hit `i'.  So in that case I
don't want the *Help* buffer buried.

I don't want the buffer config to be restored after `s'.
