It needs a binding, yes. Not very many people would have learned or would
remember several of the help commands if they were not bound.
FWIW, in my code, I use these bindings in `help-map':
`o' for `describe-option' (= `describe-variable' with prefix arg)
`C-o' for `describe-option-of-type'
`c' for `describe-command' (= `describe-function' with prefix arg)
(`describe-key-briefly' is `C-c'.)
