[Sc-devel] autoHelp?

[Dan Stowell]

Hi -

One comment: although Object:makeHelp is a pleasant convenience, it
will be an *extremely* rarely-called method, irrelevant for most
users, and so I don't think it should "pollute" the space of Object's
methods. May I suggest using Help:makeHelp(\classname) instead?
