`combine-and-quote-strings' seem handy for lists of strings. It is not
interactive function that works on region, and my function does not
yet work on list of strings

M-x apropos is definitely useful, but I have not tried searching that
way. I have tried in a different way by using `C-h f' with joker
symbol `*' and `quote' with TAB, for example, it looks like:

Describe function: *quote*reg<TAB><TAB>
or
Describe function: *reg*quote<TAB><TAB>
or 
Describe function: *quote*stri<TAB><TAB>
or
Describe function: *strin*quote<TAB><TAB>

and other good way to find functions is by using some of completion
packages like `ivy' as then one can type one or two words and find it
in reverse order.
