Summary: help(x) for keywords too
Initial Comment:
At the interactive prompt, help(object) is very useful.
It would be nice if it also worked on keywords.
"""
>>> help(object)
Help on class object in module __builtin__:
class object
| The most base type
"""
vs
"""
>>> help(with)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
"""
At the moment, the workaround is to open the
documentation, pick a document that doesn't seem quite
right (language reference?), go to the index, and look
for the keyword.
