Thanks. :)

Usually "it" in a docstring refers to the function/variable the
docstring is documenting.  At least this is how I understand it.

Are you sure?  Even the name of this function is very explicit:
"call-interactively-p", and I bet you know what it does - so it
shouldn't be hard to guess what the docstring is trying to say.

When the function in which (call-interactively-p) is has been
interactively called with (call-interactively ...)

Please suggest something better - with this small annoying constraints
that the first line has to be quite short.
