Severity: wishlist

In the `C-h b' or `C-x C-h' screens, I need to put point exactly on the
button and hit "RET" to fold/unfold.

It would be nice if "RET" anywhere on the headline would do the same.

This is intentional, so you can press RET on a button on the headline.
For example, RET on `lisp-interaction-mode' will show help for
`lisp-interaction-mode':

  * `lisp-interaction-mode' Major Mode Bindings:
  Key           Binding
  C-j           eval-print-last-sexp
  DEL           backward-delete-char-untabify

So I think this is working as intended.  (But people who are used to
Org/outline bindings can use TAB on the entire line.)

I think it would be good with a bit more DWIM here: RET follows link if
there is one, and folds otherwise.

That's not my DWIM expectations -- I expect RET to follow links, and do
nothing if there's no links there.
