My original suggestion for cleaning up the doc-string hyperlinks
(adding TAB support, etc) last fall was to use the widget library, but
Richard wouldn't allow that, because the widget library is such a huge
wodge of code, most of which is quite unnecessary for the simple
functionality used in help buffers (it's also far to slow to use for
things like apropos, which also need hyperlink support).
