Subject: bug#669: 23.0.60; defalias is not taken into account by C-h k

emacs -Q
 
(defun foo (&optional predicate)
  "" (interactive) (message "FOO"))
 
(defalias 'lisp-complete-symbol (symbol-function 'foo))
 
C-h k then shows this, which is 100% wrong:
 
M-TAB (translated from <escape> <tab>) runs the command
lisp-complete-symbol, which is an interactive Lisp function in
`lisp.el'.
 
It is bound to M-TAB.
 
(lisp-complete-symbol &optional predicate)
