Ok, I see. I guess that I should try to mimic the C interface and let
the programmer specify the help information as a list of pairs or
something like that. Is that's how it's supposed to be handled in the
Perl and Python loaders, too? Right now, they don't provide any help
information at all.

Thanks for the quick reply,
