bug#10844: 24.0.93; Slightly unclear help text about remapped commands |

If I type `C-h f kill-buffer', I currently get the following help text:
----
kill-buffer is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
It is remapped to `ido-kill-buffer', which is bound to C-x k.
(kill-buffer &optional BUFFER-OR-NAME)
----
I was puzzled what this meant. Had `kill-buffer' been redefined? What
does "remapped" mean? If I try to use `kill-buffer', will I be using
`ido-kill-buffer' instead?
So I looked at a different function to compare:
----
compose-mail is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
It is bound to C-x m, <menu-bar> <tools> <compose-mail>.
----
Oh, so the "remapped" means something like "this command is usually
bound to `C-x k', but currently `C-x k' is bound to `ido-kill-buffer'
instead" or something.
So I think the help text here could be clearer.
