[New-bugs-announce] [issue5991] Add non-command help topics to help completion of cmd.Cmd

[Floris Bruynooghe]

New submission from Floris Bruynooghe <floris.bruynooghe at gmail.com>:

The cmd.Cmd module has a default complete_help() method which will
complete all existing commands (methods starting with "do_").  It would
be useful to complete all exising help topics too by default, i.e. all
methods starting with "help_".

The attached patch does this.
