Start from emacs -Q
M-x find-function RET shell-mode RET
Pops you to sh-mode. Or
M-x find-function RET vc-create-repo RET
Pops to vc-git-create-repo.
Which can be confusing.
Maybe completion in `find-function-read' should be done like this:
diff --git a/lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el b/lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el
index bf890fc35a9..d393ccc759a 100644
--- a/lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el
+++ b/lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el

(list (intern (completing-read
(format-prompt "Find %s" symb prompt-type)
obarray predicate
- t nil nil (and symb (symbol-name symb)))))))
+ 'lambda nil nil (and symb (symbol-name symb)))))))
(defun find-function-do-it (symbol type switch-fn)
"Find Emacs Lisp SYMBOL in a buffer and display it.
Ripped the symbol `lambda' from the completion of `load-file', not sure
whether there is any better symbol.
Present in Emacs 29 as well.
