it's the curse of large programs, regularly you'll read "I've been using emacs for N decades and I had no ideas this existed ..."

I somehow RTFM'd three times, allegedly diligently and yet I still missed a lot of spots. And emacs development pace increased, so I'm due to a 4th RTFM :)

An alternative process is to call describe-function, use embark-collect to put all the auto suggestions into a buffer and memorise all functions.

Edit: I just did that and when I called count words to count lines that are in the buffer, Emacs just froze

Edit: 39180 functions. Not that hard to memorise ;P

even emacs can't handle itself
