The help command. The basic idea is that help texts for commands
are best written by those that write the commands - the admins. So
command-help is all auto-loaded and searched from the current command
set. The normal, database-tied help system is used for collaborative
creation of other help topics such as RP help or game-world aides.

@help - edit the help database
Usage:
@help[/switches] <topic>[,category[,locks]] = <text>
Switches:
add - add or replace a new topic with text.
append - add text to the end of topic with a newline between.
merge - As append, but don't add a newline between the old
text and the appended text.
delete - remove help topic.
force - (used with add) create help topic also if the topic
already exists.
Examples:
@sethelp/add throw = This throws something at ...
@sethelp/append pickpocketing,Thievery = This steals ...
@sethelp/append pickpocketing, ,attr(is_thief) = This steals ...
