Why would you say that (last sentence)?
That we have a global binding for the command
doesn't mean we shouldn't also have an easier,
(and long-standing) local binding for it.
The request of this bug is to add `M-n' for
`clone-buffer' to buffers in Help mode, in
addition to having it for buffers in Info mode.
