The help subsystem is majorly broken in the 3.7.x releases. I think it
is better in 3.7.2, but not completely. We didn't have the new one ready
for 3.7, and we didn't want to waste time changing the old one. So it is
a release with a sub-par help system, and 3.8 will have the new help subsystem
and command line interpreter.
