A recent question on help-gnu-emacs prompted this bug report. Please
consider cross-referencing node Interactive Call from node Calling
Functions in the Elisp manual. And vice versa, probably. It's not
obvious to someone just starting out how to call a command so that it
uses the `interactive' spec, and they won't find help at node Calling
Functions. It's common not to grasp the distinction between "function"
and "command".

I've now added a paragraph in the "Calling Function" node that mentions
`interactive', and links to it.
