--text follows this line--

Here's a short elisp snippet to try in an emacs -Q session:

=====
(defun foo (orig-fun &rest args)
  (apply orig-fun args))
(advice-add 'report-emacs-bug :around #'foo)
(advice-add 'pop-to-mark-command :around #'foo)
=====

After evaluating the above, if I do C-h f report-emacs-bug, I get:

=====
report-emacs-bug is an alias for ‘report-emacs-bug’ in ‘emacsbug.el’.

It is bound to <menu-bar> <help-menu> <send-emacs-bug-report>.

(report-emacs-bug TOPIC &optional UNUSED)

Report a bug in GNU Emacs.
Prompts for bug subject.  Leaves you in a mail buffer.
=====

But for C-h f pop-to-mark-command, I get:

=====
pop-to-mark-command is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘simple.el’.

(pop-to-mark-command)

:around advice: ‘foo’

Jump to mark, and pop a new position for mark off the ring.
(Does not affect global mark ring).
=====

I picked pop-to-mark-command just randomly. I noticed the misinformation
for report-emacs-bug (irony!) only. Then at random advised
pop-to-mark-command too, but emacs does not misunderstand that advice as
alias.

And here comes the twist.. After above, in the same session, once I do M-x
report-emacs-bug and then if I do C-h f report-emacs-bug, I then get:

=====
report-emacs-bug is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function
in ‘emacsbug.el’.

It is bound to <menu-bar> <help-menu> <send-emacs-bug-report>.

(report-emacs-bug TOPIC &optional UNUSED)

:around advice: ‘foo’

Report a bug in GNU Emacs.
Prompts for bug subject.  Leaves you in a mail buffer.
=====

So what's the mystery? Emacs cannot tell if a function is advised until it
is evaluated and executed?
