Hm. C-h a is apropos-command, which I think also searches the symbol
names, just like apropos does. So why have scoring for
apropos-command but not for apropos?
If I am allowed to dream, the best would be to always have scoring,
but to allow for sorting the output in different ways. Sort by score
and sort by name would be the two obvious sorting methods.
Would that be difficult to do?
