Yes I could but its not quite as convenient. One alternative I proposed in another message was to rename the old help-follow to help-follow-symbol, change the docstring to reflect the actual behavior, and bind it to `C-c C-c'. Anybody who prefers the old behavior can then easily rebind help-follow-symbol to RET. The feature is only helpful to advanced users anyway who know how to bind keys. But the current RET and mouse-2 bindings are just _way_ too confusing. They "feel" like a bug, even though they were implemented intentionally. Sincerely, Luc.
