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?
