When creating a command using BaseCommand, the help text is included in a
class variable called 'help'. This masks the Python global 'help'
function.
While not likely to arise in normal use ('help' is considered an
interactive command), this isn't a good code smell.
{{{
class Command(BaseCommand):
help = 'Useful Advice'
}}}
