Re: display-completion-list should not strip text properties

[Richard Stallman]

    Here's a related, simple, change that I've been sitting on for a long
    time. By putting text properties on doc strings you can insert images
    and other fancy stuff in the *Help* buffer. This change makes
    describe-variable preserve text properties (describe-function already
    does so):

There is no clean and easy way to put text properties on a doc string,
so I think this is not very useful in the present context.

If someone comes up with a clean way to do that, this would be a
useful part of the combination.  We could think then about installing
it.
