I wasn't talking about C-h ...  I meant the context menu popping up via
mouse-3 when 'context-menu-mode' is enabled.  I think whichever text a
user clicks on in an Elisp buffer should pop up something informative.
But with

(context-menu-mode)
(setq x 3)
(setp x 3)

right clicking on 'setq' and choosing "Describe symbol" from the menu
displays a help buffer for 'setq'.  Doing the same for 'setp' gets me

down-mouse-3 describe-symbol

in the echo area.
