bug#41021: [PATCH] New command apropos-function |

FWIW, this has been in my library `apropos-fn+var.el' since 2005.
The file header includes this:
;; Acknowledgment: Slightly different versions of `apropos-function'
;; and `apropos-variable' were posted by Kevin Rodgers to
;; bug-gnu-emacs, Tue, 06 Sep 2005 14:34:54 -0600. Kevin didn't
;; actually redefine `apropos-variable' (he would never do that ;-)),
;; but he provided the new definition. I redefined `apropos-print'
;; (and added button type `apropos-user-option' for Emacs < 24.4).
This is my `apropos-function':
(defun apropos-function (pattern)
"Show functions that match PATTERN.
This includes functions that are not commands.
PATTERN can be a word, a list of words (separated by spaces),
or a regexp (using some regexp special characters). If it is a word,
search for matches for that word as a substring. If it is a list of words,
search for matches for any two (or more) of those words.
When called from a Lisp program, a string PATTERN is used as a regexp,
while a list of strings is used as a word list."
(interactive "i")
(if (interactive-p)
(let ((apropos-do-all t))
(call-interactively 'apropos-command))
(apropos-command pattern t)))
