Feature request for "apropos.el": add a variable for automatically
selecting the apropos window when it is shown.
Please add an "apropos-window-select" variable that is analogous to
help.el's "help-window-select".

I don't know why there is this too specific option 'help-window-select'.
It seems there are many other windows that needs to be customized
to select them. Wouldn't it be more general solution to use
display-buffer-alist, maybe with something like:
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist '("\\*Help\\*" nil (post-display . select-window)))

It was added a couple of years before 'display-buffer-alist' was invented.

I'd prefer
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist '("\\*Help\\*" nil (select-window . t)))
but might change my mind as soon as you tell us what other values for
post-display you have in mind.

Maybe 'shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' like in bug#45688
or maybe better to use an option like 'after-display-buffer-function',
I'm not sure.

I think it would make sense to make the apropos just respect
`help-window-select', so I've done that in Emacs 29.
