Recently I had the need to let the documentation for a function be
changed dynamically, as it depended on a list, that could be changed
by the user.
This is somewhat like the \{keymap} etc. functions that may be invoked
from within a documentation string, but I think it would be fine if
one could evaluate any function, using a syntax somewhat like that.
As far as I can see, this is not possible in Emacs, but why not?
