RE: [External] : Re: Would you say this information window is well designed?

Anyway, my point was really to say that I don't
find Info-lookup-symbol to be slow, especially
if only manuals Emacs and Elisp are used.

There are tradeoffs, of course.  Which is why
there's an option.  As you see from the doc,
one choice can be costly.  Other choices are
less costly.

The cheapest (quickest) is to create the link
for just Emacs and Elisp, and to do so
unconditionally.  That makes sense as the default
behavior.  The doc tells users what the behavior
is and gives them the choice.  With the default
choice, yes, they will see a link and sometimes
clicking it may only tell them nothing is found.

The text introducing the link is different for
the cases where it's shown unconditionally (and
so may sometimes just tell you sorry) - "check
the manuals" - versus the cases where it's shown
only when there definitely is a target - "see
the manuals".

(The help I showed in my first message about
this explained all of this.)
