Branch: rosuav/hilfe-improvements

Two smallish improvements to Hilfe. One is suppressing "quit" and
"exit", per the TODO at the top; fairly simple but I'd like someone
else's eyeballing to make sure it's going about things the right way.

The other is the addition of a new help() built-in function, which
gives human-readable information about whatever object it's given.
Currently it shows a little information about functions and programs,
and not much else; the intent is that it can be expanded at will,
since it's purely human-readable. There is no backwards-compatibility
guarantee about its specific output format.

There's nothing particularly invasive about either of these changes,
but I'd appreciate someone else's view on the code before it gets
merged.

Thanks!
