  • 🔵 i thought of adding a --raw option to allow custom data processing by not expanding the help page found, but instead return the raw data
  • 🟡 with the builtin, help externs open returns the help open even though open is not an external => the new std help externs open does not
  • 🔴 in the built-in help externs, we have all the registered flags that show up => as they are not available in $nu, i do not know how to do that
