In other words, a doc string.

Yes, many functions in Emacs unfortunately lack doc strings. It is not
very difficult to find them. Let me save you the trouble of opening
bugs for them all:

(let (undocumented)
  (mapatoms (lambda (s)
              (and (fboundp s)
                   (not (documentation s))
                   (push s undocumented))))
  undocumented))

Would you like to write some?
