Hm... It's rather confusing all over now. All the other commands after
`C-h ?' do the same as typing the commands directly.
That is, `C-h t' shows the Emacs tutorial, and `C-h ? t' does the same.
`C-h q' shows the quick help, but `C-h ? q' doesn't -- it just exits
`help-for-help'.
But the help-for-help says that it "Display the quick help buffer.",
which is only correct when you haven't `C-h ?' first.
So this is confusing on several different levels at the same time, and I
don't know what the best fix here would be.
Perhaps Philip of Stefan has some ideas; added to the CCs.
