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.)
