Don't require `view' when compiling. (help-with-tutorial, describe-function, describe-function-1) (variable-at-point, describe-variable, locate-library): Functions moved into `help-funs.el'. (help-manyarg-func-alist): Variable moved into `help-funs.el'. (help-mode, help-mode-setup, help-mode-finish, help-button-action) (help-setup-xref, help-xref-following, help-make-xrefs) (help-xref-button, help-insert-xref-button, help-xref-interned) (help-xref-go-back, help-go-back, help-do-xref, help-follow) (help-xref-on-pp): Functions moved into `help-mode.el' (help-mode-map, help-xref-stack, help-xref-stack-item) (help-highlight-p, help-highlight-face, help-back-label) (help-xref-symbol-regexp, help-xref-mule-regexp) (help-xref-info-regexp): Variables moved into `help-mode.el'. (help-symbol, help-back, help-info, help-customize-variable) (help-function-def, help-variable-def): Button-types moved into `help-mode.el'. (load-symbol-file-load-history, symbol-file): Functions moved into `subr.el'. (symbol-file-load-history-loaded): Variable moved into `subr.el'. (view-lossage): Call `help-setup-xref' instead of doing it manually.
