24.0.91; `mark-whole-buffer' doesn't always "mark the whole buffer" |

Hi,
The `mark-whole-buffer' command, when invoked from a narrowed buffer,
doesn't mark the whole buffer (like its name, docstring and the manual
say) but only the narrowed portion.
Therefore, I think that:
* The docstring and the manual should explain this use-case.
* The command name could be renamed to just `mark-buffer', since the
"whole" part is specially unfortunate.

I've mentioned narrowing in the doc of mark-whole-buffer, I don't think
there's a need for anything more.
