Apropos looks for symbols.  There is a symbol in the image whose print
name is "LOCAL-TO-GLOBAL" in the CCL package, but neither its function
nor value cell has a value.

It has a documentation string because there is a LOCAL-TO-GLOBAL generic
function defined in the quickdraw interface.  It isn't defaultly loaded into
the image.  Use (require 'quickdraw) to get it.

It might be a good idea if the documentation strings mentioned where the
functions came from...
