NOTE: Sending this from a different Emacs version, since bug reporting
from emacs -Q is completely broken in this version:
 
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2011-07-18 on 3249CTO
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (4.5) --no-opt --cflags
-Ic:/build/include'

---------------

emacs -Q
 
(elisp) Help Functions says this in its attempt to describe command
`apropos':
 
 The function returns a list of elements that look like this:
 
   (SYMBOL SCORE FN-DOC VAR-DOC
    PLIST-DOC WIDGET-DOC FACE-DOC GROUP-DOC)
 
None of those introduced (meta) names is defined/described, apart from
SCORE.  This description of the return value is meaningless and not
helpful.  The doc needs to describe such terms that it introduces.
