The buffer also contains buttons to enable edebug or tracing of the function, to disassemble it or to unbind the symbol.

But as an opt-in feature, why not? 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. -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
