I don't think it's a good idea to leave documentation and help to
users.  I'd rather we made the help text better, or maybe introduce a
key to display a more detailed help text.  Emacs should not have
sub-optimal help text.

Can you tell why you have trouble remembering some of the keys, and
how changing the help message could countermand that?

Thanks.
