Subject: 27.0.50; improve help for advised functions
Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2018 20:43:36 +0200

Getting help on an advised function looks like this:

> eval-defun is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
> ‘elisp-mode.el’.
> 
> (eval-defun EDEBUG-IT)
> 
> :override advice: ‘edebug-eval-defun’

(where ":override advice:" is highlighted in orange)

Could we please remove (or amend) the orange color for readability,
make the indication of advice a full sentence, and possibly explain
the meaning of the different advices?
