help-follow(-mouse) should mention the function that follows the link


From: Drew Adams
Subject: help-follow(-mouse) should mention the function that follows the link

The doc string for the (empty) commands `help-follow' and
`help-follow-mouse' just says that it follows the xref. This
information is useless for actually following the link, as in
debugging. Why not mention in the doc string that `help-do-xref' does
the work of following, since that is what you need to watch, to follow
the action?

Also, the doc string for `help-follow', but not for
`help-follow-mouse', says to see `help-make-xrefs' for information
about the button format. Why is that information pertinent in this doc
string?
