Stefan,

Could you comment on this issue? Could we remove the following two
add-hooks?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'temp-buffer-setup-hook 'help-mode-setup)
(add-hook 'temp-buffer-show-hook 'help-mode-finish)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Martin,

Assume help-mode and with-output-to-temp-buffer are decoupled, is it
possible to merge the two macros with-output-to-temp-buffer and
with-temp-buffer-window?

Thank you,
Leo
