I think we should be careful not to add too much to what these
commands display, since otherwise we'd reinvent "C-h b" again.

The whole purpose of help-quick is to present a small list of the most
useful commands and their bindings, and do it in a small window.  As
soon as the buffer is long enough to require scrolling, I think we
will have lost.
