    * lisp/help-fns.el (find-lisp-object-file-name): Accept any `type' as long
    as it's a symbol.
    (help-fns-short-filename): New function.
    (describe-function-1): Use it.  Use autoload-do-load.
    
    * lisp/help-mode.el (help-function-def): Add optional arg `type'.
    
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-generic.el (cl-generic-ensure-function): It's OK to

    (cl-generic-current-method-specializers): Replace dyn-bind variable
    with a lexically-scoped macro.
    (cl--generic-lambda): Update accordingly.
    (cl-generic-define-method): Record manually in the load-history with
    type `cl-defmethod'.

    (cl--generic-search-method): New function.
    (find-function-regexp-alist): Add entry for `cl-defmethod' type.
    (cl--generic-search-method): Add hyperlinks for methods.  Merge the

    * lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-core.el (eieio--defalias): Move to eieio-generic.el.
    (eieio-defclass-autoload): Don't record the superclasses any more.
    (eieio-defclass-internal): Reuse the old class object if it was just an
    autoload stub.

    * lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-generic.el (eieio--defalias): Move from eieio-core.

    (defmethod): Don't use the method's docstring for the generic
    function's docstring.
    
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el: Use lexical-binding.
    (find-function-regexp): Don't rule out `defgeneric'.
    (find-function-regexp-alist): Document new possibility of including
    a function instead of a regexp.
    (find-function-search-for-symbol): Implement that new possibility.
    (find-function-library): Don't assume that `function' is a symbol.
    (find-function-do-it): Remove unused var `orig-buf'.

    Rename from cl-generic-test-7-after/before.
