It seems that, at least as recently as Emacs 27.2,
this has not been done, in spite of the doc of
`apropos-documentation' saying this:
With C-u prefix, or if ‘apropos-do-all’ is non-nil,
it searches all currently defined documentation
strings.
For example, `C-u C-h d backtrace' doesn't show an
entry for package `backtrace', even though the pkg
doc string mentions "backtrace". (Emacs 27.2)
If this has still not been fixed in Emacs 28, do we
need a bug filed for this, or can it just please be
fixed without a bug?
