Just FYI, for those who don't know this: when the /help page was added we
needed a way to disambiguate like-named pages and commands ('timeline' vs
'/timeline'), so the help system uses a / prefix to mean "web page":

f help /test-all-help

will show the help specifically for that page (which is, perhaps
ironically, only a single line).

likewise:

f help timeline
vs
f help /timeline

(in fact, /timeline was the main reason the disambiguation was needed.)
