I've always disliked this kludge. We should probably strip make-docfile.c
of all the elisp handling and instead we should fill the DOC while dumping
Emacs (i.e. functions like `defun' and `autoload' should add the docstring
to the DOC file), so the recognition of docstrings and their replacement by
a reference to the DOC file are done at the same place and are thus known to
be correct.
This would not make things any better for users. I would rather see
progress on things that will provide a benefit to the users.
Meanwhile, for right now what we should focus on readying a new
release.
