From #110 (comment):

Note that in [adding overrides for describe-function and describe-variable], you're breaking the new feature: automatic loading of packages based on known variable/function name prefixes.

I need to figure out whether ido completion can be made to work with this new feature, and if not, just leave ido disabled for these functions.

Ido completion needs to know all the possible completions in advance, so the only way to make this work would be to pre-load all known elisp files, which is not an acceptable solution.

Make ido handle dynamically loading libs based on prefix

This patch enables describe-variable and describe-function to use ido
while also having the feature of automatically loading relevant libs
based on the prefix of the completion. This fixes issue DarwinAwardWinner#111

Reopening this since #118 offers a potential solution.

Just thought I'd add to this as I've now encountered this issue when using mu4e. Once you run mu4e, C-h v will no longer work. See djcb/mu#1078

I don't think this is the same issue. This issue is about describe-variable and describe-function not having ido completion. If you're encountering errors, please open a separate issue, with the exact sequence of commands to reproduce the error starting from emacs -Q.

Hi @theophilusx, I've opened a separate issue, #119, to track your error. Could you please add directions on how to reproduce the error there?
