I finally made time to start turning my experimental changes into
patches.  I thought I'd start simple.  Attached is a Help command I
added.  (I stole the method of embedding the Markdown text in the
command text from the TODO bundle Help command.)

After I get confirmation that this patch is alright (or I learn what I
did wrong), I'll start contributing more patches (to the bundle code
itself).
