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.

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.
