Hi,
I have a patch against help.vim to enable proper syntax highlighting for
tags that are named like special variables in Lisp, i.e.:
*standard-output*
Corresponding tag would be called **standard-output**, which is
unfortunate as this will break highlighting. The attached patch fixes
that. Not very pretty, but I'm afraid it's not possible to do it easier.
