I've several times hesitated when writing a docstring: should it document
the function or the command.
The more typical problem is whether to refer to ARG, BEG, END or to
\\[universal-argument], and the region.
Maybe we should make i possible to provide two separate docstrings, one for
the function and one for the command.
