[Lazarus] Help on FCL?

The Lazarus package FCL seems to hide the FPC/FCL, at least I cannot get 
any context sensitive help on FCL units or identifiers (using CHM) :-(

FPDoc Editor doesn't show anything as well, even if I added the RTL/FCL 
help directories to its search path.

Can somebody explain how the RTL and FCL docs are found at all, when RTL 
the RTL is not (and FCL a different) Lazarus package?


As already mentioned, we should rethink the packaging for Help. IMO the 
LCL docs should include LazUtils, and the RTL and FCL docs must be made 
available, somehow. My previous attempt to add RTL and FCL directories 
to the Lazarus/docs/xml was dropped, because it cannot be synced with 
reasonable efforts with the FPC docs. But now we have accessible FCL 
documentation any more, what certainly is intolerable.
