Maybe we could just change the wording in the docstring to something
like
"In byte compilation, `function' causes its argument to be handled by
the by compiler."
and tell the rest in the manual. Currently it only says "compiling the
argument" which only covers the lambda-form case, and this is even the
less interesting case, because lambda function-quotes itself nowadays.
