I would so use this feature going the other way: fire up comfortable psql and see what mysql command I need to type ... Having it in the interface (behind \help [mysql|oracle|firebird|mssql|..] seems reasonable to me, given how much info we already have in \help. I find the basic BNF help for SQL syntax still useful reminder, and know to go to the actual docs when there's not enough there. So a quick mapping of most-needed commands, and a pointer to the docs for the full ramifications and subtle differences seems to fit the existing documentation module.
