I use something like this in several of my packages, and I think it
would be useful to have in Emacs.  If there are no objections from the
other Emacs people, I will implement it.

Ben, are you willing to contribute the docstring to Emacs?  I don't know
if you have assigned copyright for Emacs or not.  If not, may I ask that
you just post quick paraphrases of the docstrings?

On the other hand, perhaps this docstring comes in the "under 10 lines"
definition; I hope one of the other Emacs people can say whether or not
we can use it.
