The buffer also contains buttons to enable edebug or tracing of the function, to
disassemble it or to unbind the symbol. Then it gives the source code, a
list of symbol properties and a list of aliases.

I have the helpful package installed and set up `s-h` as a prefix to access the
various commands. Yet, I mostly use the default Emacs commands on C-h, because
most of the time I'm only interested in the doc string and on my (admittedly
under-powered) laptop, helpful takes precious seconds to gather all its info.
