bug#60568: [FR] 30.0.50; Help buffers and function bodies for generated

If you look at the code of `find-func.el` you'll see that we already rely on heuristics, so it seems like a natural complement. But I agree that `definition-name` is usually preferable since it's more reliable. Still most people don't know `definition-name`, so it can still be helpful.

Maybe people will know better if definition-name would be documented.


I think the place where it should be documented is the suggested *Help* screen, with a sentence like "To ensure an accurate identification of the place where `frobnicate' was defined, the definition-name slot of the `frobnicate' symbol should be set ."
