It's not a macro:
bind pager \Ch help
And hence: "the function name is to be specified without angle
brackets".
But maybe it should be a macro?
Anyway, my original problem was to find a good replacement binding for
'help', since I would prefer '?' to be bound to 'search-reverse', and
obviously '^h' is not a good choice.
