-;; Helpful is a replacement for *help* buffers that provides much more
-;; contextual information. To get started, try:
-;; `M-x helpful-function RET helpful-function
-;;
-;; The full set of commands you can try is:
-;;
-;; * helpful-function
-;; * helpful-command
-;; * helpful-key
-;; * helpful-macro
-;; * helpful-callable
-;; * helpful-variable
-;; * helpful-at-point
