[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Severity: wishlist

I've often found myself reaching for 'apropos-function' command, and found
it strange that it was missing.  This typically would happen by saying M-x
apropos- TAB.  So now I got frustrated again and I decided to bite the
bullet and implement it.

Of course, I quickly realized that I had actually been looking for 'C-u M-x
apropos-command' all along.  But for some reason I never thought to read
the docstring of 'apropos-command'.  (Or maybe I read it at some point but
forgot about it.)

I think a new command would help make this feature more discoverable,
especially to beginners.  Please see the attached patch.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
