Argh. Is there some way of making it a bit more obvious that it's a
button? It's a nice feature, but it's barely noticeable (I've been
reading plenty of man pages in Emacs recently, and have only just
noticed this), and when I did finally notice it it looked like a bug.

The only obvious signal that it's a button that I can discover is the
highlighting that occurs if I mouse over it. But I don't use the mouse
much in Emacs!
