I haven't tried the patch, but this is for showing the source code of
the function/variable in question in the *Help* buffer?  I'm not quite
sure I understand the utility of that -- if you want to look at the
source, you can just hit the `s' key.  And then you get all the proper
language-related Emacs stuff in that buffer -- looking at sources is
usually nicer in the correct major mode than in other buffers.

So I don't understand who'd want this.
