It is not documented in the Elisp info manual that a function docstring
ending with:

\(fn SOME ARGS)

will have a custom usage displayed by `describe-function'.

It seems useful to document this.

In GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.10)
 of 2019-08-29 built on juergen
Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.12005000
System Description:	Arch Linux

Never mind, I found this documented under Function Documentation.  I
somehow missed it the first time C-sing in the manual.

Can you describe how you looked for this?  Did you use the 'i' command
in Info?  It's possible that we need to improve the indexing.
