Among other things, `define-minor-mode' defines a function, in this
case longlines-mode; and that function, like all minor modes, has an
arg to turn it on or off. So it's not `describe-function' which adds a
"mystery argument", but the docstring for the modes, that sometimes
lacks the relevant info.
That said, any Emacs user should be by now used to minor modes having
such an argument...
