Lukas,

Could you also make a small patch for the Texinfo help documentation?  This
seems like a reasonable feature and I see that you have committed it to the
Mercurial repository, but no one besides a few people watching the
maintainers list know about it.  If no one knows about it, it won't get used.

Cheers,
Rik
