(help) doesn't seem to work for procedures defined in the REPL.
scheme@(guile-user)> (define (hello x) "hello for x" x)
scheme@(guile-user)> (procedure-properties hello)
$1 = ((arity 1 0 #f) (name . hello) (documentation . "hello for x"))
scheme@(guile-user)> ,describe hello
hello for x
scheme@(guile-user)> (help hello)
Did not find any object named `hello'
It doesn't work either if I use scm_set_procedure_property_x() from C (,describe does work).
Why is this?
Thanks,
Daniel

`hello' is a procedure in the (guile-user) module.
hello for x
The reason is the use of apropos-fold-exported in (ice-9 session)'s
`help-doc'.
Want to propose a patch that makes more sense, including private
bindings from the current module?

Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into it.
