Yes, thank you. This function should be listed in the see-also portion of "help help":
See also: doc, lookfor, which, info, suppress_verbose_help_message. As an alternative, verbosity could maybe be an option: -- help NAME -- help '--list' -- help '.' -- help -- help '--noverbose'but the suppress_verbose_help_message() is geared to function form because it returns the present state which couldn't be done with an option.
