`C-u C-x =' does mention the presence of a button:

Here is a ‘help-character-set’ button labeled ‘ascii’, but doesn't
actually link to `button-describe', which should be fixed, at least.

Integrating with `C-h .' might be possible -- for instance, `C-u C-h .'
might run button/widget-describe?  I think having plain `C-h .' do so
would be confusing, since buttons commonly have a help text, and that's
what `C-h .' shows.

Or put this somewhere else.  Anybody got any opinions?
