Problems with help in the debugger.

When I evaluate:

  (defun some-fun ()
    "Some doc."
    nil)
  (debug-on-entry 'some-fun)
  (some-fun)
  
I enter the debugger.  When I press "l", I get a help buffer with a
list of functions that will enter the debugger when called:

  ------ Buffer: *Help* ------
  Functions set to debug on entry:

  some-fun
  Note: if you have redefined a function, then it may no longer
  be set to debug on entry, even if it is in the list.
  ------ Buffer: *Help* ------

Even though some-fun is not visibly marked in any way (this seems a
bug), I can still move the cursor on it and press enter to get a
description of the function:

  ------ Buffer: *Help* ------
  some-fun is a Lisp function.
  (some-fun)

  Some Doc.
  ------ Buffer: *Help* ------

Wouldn't it be nice if this buffer had a back button that allows me to
go back to the list?


Lute.
