Patches are welcome for adding more colors to the *Help* buffers.

As to the newline, we are discussing that, as you are well aware.

I won't object making something like that an optional feature, but
doing this by default is annoying, IMO: it's too much unsolicited
info.  If, after reading the doc string, I want to look up the symbol
in the Info manual, I can do that with 2 keystrokes, I don't need
Emacs to show it to me unconditionally.
