view-lossage should output to new buffer *Lossage*, not *Help*.
1. If the user accidentally calls any other help function after
view-lossage, he will destroy the contents of the *Help* buffer,
where there is no undo available. There is no way to get back the
information destroyed, as emacs has a hard limit of 100 keystrokes
of "lossage".
2. In these days where even a *Hello Kitty* buffer isn't seen as a
luxury, I'd say a personal buffer for irreplaceable information
should be OK.
3. Even the pros sometimes wipe out the C-h l output they were about
to use for a bug report by an inadvertent second C-h <something>.
