   Yes I could but its not quite as convenient.

One alternative I proposed in another message was to rename the old
help-follow to help-follow-symbol, change the docstring to reflect the
actual behavior, and bind it to `C-c C-c'.  Anybody who prefers the
old behavior can then easily rebind help-follow-symbol to RET.  The
feature is only helpful to advanced users anyway who know how to bind
keys.  But the current RET and mouse-2 bindings are just _way_ too
confusing.  They "feel" like a bug, even though they were implemented
intentionally.

Sincerely,

Luc.
