Maybe Dave does have something to add, but I can see the bug that this change
fixed in 21.3 and why its not needed now (causes a bug now, in fact).  If I
couldn't, I wouldn't have reverted the change.

I have a patch for Help links which I guess will have to wait after the
release.  I also want to convert descr-text.el from widgets to help links so
solve some of its problems, but this isn't a trivial task.  Perhaps I should
mention this in TODO so there isn't duplication of effort.
