Re: display-completion-list should not strip text properties

[Richard Stallman]

    I think a better approach is to use a markup language in doc strings,
    be it XHTML or even TexinfoML.  Then using a style sheet it can be
    formatted nicely in the Help buffer.  Example of a doc string:

    (defun foo ()
      "To create a file, just <emph>visit it</emph> with <kbd>C-x C-f</kbd>.
    See also <xref>find-file-literally</xref>."
    )

I don't want to go down that route.  It is a lot of complexity, and an
invitation to keep adding more.  I would rather we work on other things
(see etc/TODO).
