All programs print their help through the COMMAND machinery now: - the VERB_COMMON_HELP() and VERB_COMMON_HELP_HIDDEN() macros which wired the help verb to a hand-written help() implementation are unused — everything uses the VERB_COMMON_HELP_AUTO*() family, - the verbs help table is only built internally, so the function becomes static, as the TODO promised, - help_abstract() and help_man_page_reference() are unused — the generated help renders the abstract via print_wrapped() and the man page links via print_man_links().
