No ChangeLog?

The idea is good. I agree with your patch, basically. I can review it more 
seriously, once you write up ChangeLog entries.

BTW, I would like to obtain the capability of handling pipes, so that we can, 
say, "help | more". I guess you have the same idea in your mind. This should 
be trivial, once the input and output are separate, right?
