Wouldn't it be good if the help functions loaded autoloaded functions etc? At least I believe this would make it a bit less confusing for newbies. And the penalty should not be big, or?These functions give information about Emacs. I think it would be very undesirable for them to alter the state they are examining.
But loading a library should not change the state of Emacs, or? Is not that one of the design goals?
