downloademacs-56759cf12aeea9a51020ad19784d6ca6c55ab36e.tar.gz
Move some help functions from help-fns.el to help.el, which is preloaded.
They are now needed by eg the function `documentation' in some circumstances. * lisp/help-fns.el (help-split-fundoc, help-add-fundoc-usage) (help-function-arglist, help-make-usage): Move from here... * lisp/help.el (help-split-fundoc, help-add-fundoc-usage) (help-function-arglist, help-make-usage): ... to here. * lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-lambda): Do not load help-fns. Fixes: debbugs:17001
