I wasn't really thinking of a tutorial / getting started guide, but a
quick reference, like those printable emacs/vi keybinding charts.

With oneliners like:

'cd', '%cd': Call magic function cd
'%cd?': Get help for magic function cd

It's an easy thing to get going, and worth a shot for offline users,
even advanced ones (certainly better than externally launched
documentation, people are lazy).

I think importing the 'usage' module only when needed would be doable
as well, to conserve a bit of memory (probably only cosmetic effect
though).
