One thing I find frustrating about apropos is that it doesn't include
information about packages you haven't got loaded. (Obviously!) For
example, C-H a gnus-summary RET in a newly started XEmacs gets
nothing, whereas after M-X load-library RET gnus RET, it gets a load
of stuff.

This can be a real pain when trying to find something you're sure must
be possible, but you don't know where it might be implemented...

But you're right, apropos is wonderful.
