Come to think of it, it's pretty common to have a monolithic form of 
otherwise categorized documentation. Single web pages are (as noted) 
much easier to search, likewise for man pages and plain text. And of 
course if you want the documentation in PDF form...

If there isn't currently a .rst file somewhere to concatenate all the 
various documentation together with appropriate headings and table of 
contents, this would probably be a good thing to add. (And then it could 
be leveraged for --help-full.)
