The help command is able to display installed help files for custom builtin
functions. However, if the custom name is the same as a standard help
file, the standard help file will be displayed instead. The custom help
builtin should be used to directly access the custom help file.
For example, the custom help builtin has the same name as the standard
help file. That is:
help help
will print this file only. However the custom help builtin will print
only the custom builtin help file:
custom("help", "help");
will by-pass a standard help file and look for the custom version directly.
As a hack, the following:
help custhelp/anything
as the same effect as:
custom("help", "anything");
