(describe-variable (quote debug-on-error))
doesn't mention toggle-debug-on-error, a real short cut!

P.S.
(describe-function (quote toggle-debug-on-error))
doesn't mention debug-on-error.

Do you mean it's better to add more description link in doc? Following is one of your requests.
But, I think it maybe not good to provide a command function link in C level.
And, this should be a minor/wishlist bug.
