That would be an  improvement as just in responding to  this email I had
to figure out how to get the new settings help because it wasn't obvious
to me that the  domain of settings help has now  entered the same domain
as subcommand help, but it still means that, one has to run a minimum of
2 commands. With the current state of settings help:

1) fossil settings (inspect settings list and pick one interesting)
2) fossil help <setting>

Before, it was easier just to run:

fossil help settings

Then scroll up through the output, or use a $PAGER.

Maybe a  --verbose option to fossil  help settings would make  it so one
can get  all the information in  a single request? Matt,  what would you
think is an improvement?
