Each command could be self-documenting #45

I created the /help command, but it's not really help, it just shows a list of commands.

I'm not sure how feasible it is, but it would be nice from the user's point of view to be able to do /help *command* and get some useful feedback about what the command does, and how to use it. Ideally each command would 'provide' it's own help text.

EDIT Actually, looking through the code, it seems to me that ChatExtensions could be pretty easily extended for this... Thoughts?

Yeah, the way we display that information now is kind of ugly too. There's definitely room for improvement, so this is something I'd be happy to discuss.

I added the code to support this now (not yet pushed), but the actual help texts will still need to be added.

You can eventually push the feature. Maybe someone would have time to do the messages descriptions? Or at least could create a pull request for it. (If you don't have the time to do it of course :P)

Yep, I just got distracted. I'll probably be pushing a few things later tonight.
