I don't know who decided that and why, but are you saying that we
should document every single command in the manual?

If `apropos' doesn't find something, try `apropos-documentation',
which searches the doc strings, not only the symbols' names.

Examples will help.  In general, characters that are very popular
should be added to the respective input methods.
