I'm currently rewriting help-fns.el and can produce


M-TAB (translated from <escape> <tab>) runs the command
lisp-complete-symbol, which is an interactive Lisp function.

It is bound to M-TAB, <menu-bar> <lisp-interaction>
<lisp-complete-symbol>, H-SPC.

(lisp-complete-symbol &optional predicate)


and


M-TAB (translated from <escape> <tab>) runs the command
lisp-complete-symbol, which is an alias for `foo'.

It is bound to M-TAB, <menu-bar> <lisp-interaction>
<lisp-complete-symbol>, H-SPC.

(lisp-complete-symbol &optional predicate)


Are these acceptable?
