E.g., if I do `C-h f foo' and the doc for `foo' happens to mention `foo' itself (using the `...' syntax), that mention should not be turned into a cross reference (which just goes to the same *Help* output). This might mean adding an argument to `help-make-xrefs' to provide that thingy. And that might also mean adding the same arg to `help-mode-finish'. An alternative, I suppose, is to use a global variable for the thingy being documented.

No, I think consistency is better than avoiding the user hitting a pretty useless link.
