Several years ago, \df was considered the primary documentation for what 
functions existed and what they did, as the full documentation was not 
all that complete back then.  That's why all functions tend to have 
comments defined by default.  Now I don't look up functions as much as 
I used to, probably because I know most of them, but I can imagine that 
this original purpose of \df is still valid today.
