I think I want some means of displaying "their doc strings". They're much
more like functions than variables, so for lack of any third option, C-h
f seems the best way of doing this display.
I've hacked out a solution for this, involving defining defuns to hold
the doc strings. I hope to post this patch on bug-gnu-emacs later on
this evening (European time).

No, nothing so general. pcase has introduced a lot of confusion (for me,
at any rate, so probably also for a lot of hackers who aren't Emacs
contributors), so I would like the doc strings to reduce this confusion
as far is as reasonable.

That's as it should be.
