There are two problems:
1. We need to convert from Elisp docstring format to Org markup
2. More importantly, User manual is something to be written as a
   coherent text; not an agglomeration of docstring. (Yes, I am aware of
   the fact that it is not always the case in practice; But we should
   not encourage the current situation)
