Current CVS trunk:

with-help-window returns nil, rather than the last value of BODY.
This causes, eg, describe-function to return nil, rather than the
description. This breaks, eg, eshell/which:

emacs -Q -f eshell
eshell> which which
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil


I just reported this problem to the maintainer of eshell and suggested to fetch the documentation in another way.

It is not documented that describe-function should return the doc string.
