The purpose of the docstring should be expanded.  And if using the manual
is required, please provide that information from the self documentation.

I disagree with the notion that working with emacs should be hard.  With

language is hard.  It is the solution that I disagree with.  Because the
solution that I am usually given is to endure the time it takes for everyone 
to learn it.
