I would very much like to get the better help support for EIEIO methods and classes in the next release. We discussed it here in February: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/156807 I got sidetracked at that time, but I'm currently working it. The essential functionality won't change, though: the main work is done in eieio.el and eieio-opt.el. The only things that get's added to help-fns.el is the new `help-fns-describe-function-functions' hook. Would it be OK to apply it in the coming days? Also, I'd like to do another sync from CEDET upstream, but AFAICS that's only bugfixes. -David
