Not quite, but some of the functions would. Specifically, 'makeinfo',
'get_help_text', and 'get_first_help_sentence' are needed to use my
implementation of the help system. So, some functions
('generate_package_html', 'get_html_options', and 'html_help_text')
should still be in OF. This is the reason I'm keeping the package out of
OF -- otherwise I'm afraid things will easily get very confusing.

Well, I think that would be very useful. Especially, if 'doc' was
changed to launch a web browser instead of an info viewer. This is the
kind of thinking that makes me think it would be great if the help
system could be rewritten as m-files, as it's much easier to implement
such features.
