OK, so I have renamed it and expanded the docstring.  I attach
a corrected patch (the second one, the first one is the same as before).

Is there anything else I can do before we may apply this patch and
consider bug#21072 fixed?

(Notice that three places could be still corrected: two when bug#24427
is fixed and possibly another one when the strange behavior of
(beginning-of-defun 0) is fixed - I will officially file a bug about it
later.  But these apparently will have to wait.)

Best,
