Thanks, but I'd prefer a prefix command, so that you wouldn't need to
prompt for the key sequence, but expect the user to provide it
already. For example, "C-h M-h s" would show the definition of the
function or variable.
Also, the *Help* window should stay displayed, so any additional
buffers the command needs to pop (for example, to show the definition)
should not replace the *Help* buffer, it should pop in another window,
exactly like when I invoke the command from the *Help* buffer.
