I forgot to mention this: Emacs is supposed to be a self-documenting
editor.  Therefore, we should try to support that notion.  Only if doc
strings and commentaries (readable via package finder in Emacs,
perhaps there needs to be a better interface?) fail, should we need to
write Info.  As I said this is for newbies, and pulling stuff
together.
