Almost all of them are, so it would be a significant bloat of the Emacs's memory footprint for very little gain. I suggest that you instead teach yourself to use "C-h S" every time you wonder whether a function or variable is described in the manual(s): this command sounds like exactly what you'd want. (If you already use it, I guess I don't understand what would you gain by having the information in the doc string.)
