Yes. The latest version contains this postamble:
;; If you want to know more about a variable or a function:
;;
;; C-h v a-variable RET
;; C-h f a-function RET
;;
;; To read the Emacs Lisp manual with Emacs:
;;
;; C-h i m elisp RET
;;
;; To read an online introduction to Emacs Lisp:
;;
;; https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/index.html
I guess it's already a lot.
(Several people said that such a hands on tutorial for writing a mode
would be handy. On my TODO list for the next two months.)
