bug#3631: describe-variable 'save-some-buffers-action-alist gives byte code

[jidanni]

$ emacs-snapshot -eval '(describe-variable (quote save-some-buffers-action-alist))'
1. the user is presented with byte code.
2. there is no mention of save-some-buffers in the docstring.

I mean
$ emacs-snapshot -eval '(describe-function (quote save-some-buffers))'
says
  See `save-some-buffers-action-alist' if you want to
  change the additional actions you can take on files.
But when we get there, we are greeted by byte code.

emacs-version "23.0.94.1"

Yes...  the alist contains code.  Its an alist of actions.

Yes?  `save-some-buffers' points to how to modify its actions.  Pointing
the other way around wouldn't be very useful.

I don't think there's anything here to fix.
