Perhaps a bit more convenient would be to use `C-c ?' which is
currently bound to `describe-mode'.  Grepping through the Emacs
sources showed that there are other modes binding it like this as
well, e.g. Gnus Article Edit mode or Message mode.  But there are also
modes which use the key binding for documentation purposes,
e.g. Idlwave mode and especially BibTeX mode.  If somebody implements
Apropos-like functionality in addition to `TeX-doc' we might extend
the binding to `C-c ? a' for that and `C-c ? h' or similar for
`TeX-doc'.
