BTW, a common cause of ambiguity is minor modes which use the same
symbol as a function and as a variable. But in most such cases, I think
the fix is not to fix the ambiguity but to make
describe-function/variable aware of minor-modes and display them in
a unified way (i.e. display a single *Help* buffer that shows the var
and the fun as a single entity, e.g. giving the args but also the link
to customize).
