While I agree with your stance on documentation, only recently did I
start learning a bit the new `C-h` commands. Are they new-ish?
For many years it was only `C-h f` and `C-h v` for me. But I don't read
NEWS consistently, I admit, because it's very large and full of stuff
I don't care about.
Anyway travelling to the Elisp manual is usual a matter of:
M-x info RET C-s elisp RET RET C-s thing-im-hopeful-to-find C-s C-s
But the manual is so good that it's worth it, IMO. But if it that
transfer could be made easier (maybe it already is?), that would
be great. Is there a help command that brings us to the Elisp
manual page on a non-command function?
My point it that the manual-savvy workflow should be better
advertised. Maybe some photogenic person among us could
make a screencast or something, that has a lot of impact.
