C-u M-x:
It only works if the current buffer is writable, which is often not
the case.  Thus requiring another step

C-h C-f version:
(From *Messages* buffer:)
Info-goto-emacs-command-node: Couldn't find documentation for version

What is wrong with the info being written to *Messages* buffer where
it has been expected to appear for ages?
