I think it is convenient. Every interactive function has already a
docstring.
The doc string for the function is not designed to explain how to
enter a specific argument. It is the wrong text for this job.
When I type M-x grep and get a prompt and I am not sure, what I am
asked here, I can just get the help for the function grep.
That might be useful, but it isn't the same idea. The idea was to
tell the user about the argument being entered, wasn't it?
