I just tried this and one thing I did not like is that it opens a new
split help window but does not focus it immediately. I need to scroll
down the list of keybindings to see all but that requires manual buffer
switching. Can we focus it by default or is that un-emacsy?

Also, when closing with "q" the buffer split remains and I am left with
an empty split buffer, which is not what I want. I usually press "?" as
a key binding reference and want to get back to the state I was working
when I close the help window.

Also, -and that might be related to my additional notmuch-hello mode
patch that I am running- I get a "wrong type argument: listp, keymap"
when I press "?" in notmuch-hello although it works in notmuch-search
and notmuch-show. So that point might be moot.

I am sure there is a variable that customizes the help-buffer behavior,
isn't there? :-)
