Similarly, I think it would be good if `describe-function' tried to see if a
string arg was the name of a function, before interpreting the arg as a
keyboard macro.
That is, it would be useful for (describe-function "forward-char") to do the
same thing that (describe-function 'forward-char) does. Instead, it insists
that its arg is a keyboard macro, and displays this:
"forward-char" is a keyboard macro.
Macro: f o r w a r d - c h a r
Keyboard macro.
I don't think that's particularly helpful, but first trying to intern its
arg and see if that symbol has a function definition would be useful.
