I want to call the documentation or describe-function, functions, with
a list of strings that are function names. Those functions take a
symbol as an argument. e.g. (describe-function 'shell). Given a
string "shell" is it possible to convert that to the symbol shell so
that I can use it as an argument to those functions?
