I've always wondered if there should be more attempts to link from
docstrings into the elisp manual.  It would reduce the burden
of trying to make docstrings too all-encompassing.

Consider, for instance, if there were automatically added "See
(elisp)FUNCTION-NAME" and/or "See (elisp)faces" links at the bottom of
_every_ face function's docstring.

[I seem to recall that this was discussed in some manner before??
Anybody remember?]
