Re: |PATCH| describe-minor-mode and describe-minor-mode-from-indicator

    1. M-x describe-minor-mode
       The user of describe-minor-mode can give its argument
       with completion. The completion table is built from the
       name of minor modes activated on the current buffer.

    2. M-x describe-minor-mode-from-indicator
       Almost the same as describe-minor-mode but the user 
       can pass an indicator instead of minor mode name to
       get help. I could not implment completion.
       (You will be not satisfied with "without completion".)

This is a very useful feature.  It could be more useful if the user
could click on a minor mode name in the mode line and get a
description of it.  This could work for mahor modes too.  Right now
only mouse-3 is used on this part of the mode line.

(It is not hard to call completing-read--did you find this
difficult?).
