To fix bug#62300, we do the same for `...' as we already did for \[...]
* help-fns.el (describe-function-1): Look for `...' references in
addition to key substitution markup.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-form):
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--interactive-only): Fix obvious mistake.
Since `interactive-only` is not supposed to be anything other than
a symbol at these points it was not a very consequential bug.
Make `interactive-only` declarations apply to aliases of the same
function as well since this quality isn't in the name but in what
the function does.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-form):
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--interactive-only):
Follow aliases when retrieving the `interactive-only` property.
Make `fset` and `defalias` signal an error on attempts to create
circular alias chains. This is more effective, efficient and
convenient than permitting alias loops to be created and trying to
detect them at run time each time a function is called, which is what
we have been doing until now, badly.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--analyze-function):
Don't pass obsolete argument.
* lisp/subr.el (function-alias-p):
* src/data.c (indirect_function, Findirect_function): Simplify.
Now error-free, second argument obsolete.
(Ffset): Detect loops.
* test/lisp/help-fns-tests.el (help-fns--analyze-function-recursive):
* test/lisp/subr-tests.el (test-alias-p):
Adapt tests.
* test/src/data-tests.el (data-tests-fset, data-tests-defalias): New.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Function Indirection):
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Defining Functions, Function Cells):
Update manual.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.

* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--insert-menu-bindings): Make this
work better for menus that turn out to not be reachable after all
-- i.e., don't insert " and " before the heading in certain cases.
* lisp/help-fns.el (find-lisp-object-file-name): Don't claim that
native-comp functions that are defined outside of files (for
instance, created by calling `native-compile' in IELM) are in C
source (bug#57819).
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-function-1): Do not pass
'describe-function-orig-buffer' as argument to...
(help-fns--key-bindings): but use it directly there instead.
This simplifies 1d1158397b.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--key-bindings): New parameter.
Use it when looking up keybindings.
(describe-function-1): Add the buffer in which the command
was invoked as argument to 'help-fns--key-bindings'.
Fixes bug#57568.
(describe-mode--minor-modes): Don't burp on minor modes that lack a docstring.
(describe-mode--minor-modes): Simplify eta-redex.

(Bug#56643)
We used to use a very "optimistic" regexp which worked well for
longish symbol names but suffered from too many false positives on
short names. Use a more restrictive regexp, which should make the
recent "weed out" change unnecessary.
This in turn requires the use of '...' more consistently in etc/NEWS* files.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--first-release-regexp): New function.
(help-fns--first-release): Use it. Fix minor issue with the Emacs
version regexp.
(help-fns--mention-first-release): Undo last change.
* etc/NEWS*: Replace `...' with '...'. Indent code examples by at
least 2 spaces. Add previously missing '...' quotes around many of
the variables and functions described.
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-symbol): Make xref links happen in
all sections (bug#49587).
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-symbol): Add back/forward links.
* lisp/help-mode.el (help-make-xrefs): Factor out links from
here...

* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns-edit-mode-cancel): New command.
(help-fns--edit-value-mode-map): Bind it to 'C-c C-k'.
(help-fns-edit-variable): Advertise it in help text.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--obsolete): Remove indentation and fill.
(help-fns--var-obsolete): Ditto.
(describe-function-1): Output the obsoletion info first since it's
vital information.
(describe-variable): Ditto (bug#56251).
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-enable-variable-value-editing): Expand
docstring to better explain what effect it has.
(help-fns-edit-variable): Use command substitution.
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-function): Revert previous change here.
(describe-function-1): Just use describe-function-orig-buffer
instead of the key-buffer binding -- this will also make the
rendering results correct when hitting `g' and `l'.
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-keymap): Suggest symbol at point
if it is a keymap. (Bug#55393)
* etc/NEWS: Announce change in behavior of 'describe-keymap'.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns-describe-function-functions): Make
help-fns--compiler-macro the last entry (because it's not the most
interesting information).
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Advice and Byte Code): New node.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--compiler-macro): Also output data on
other byte compilation things, and link to the manual (bug#23264).
