Actually, I wonder if *Help* couldn't have undo enabled. No flames please; it's
just a naive question.
I sometimes do C-x C-q and edit some *Help* text to use it elsewhere, and undo
would be useful during such editing. If enabling undo would have negative
consequences, then forget about it - just wondering.
