We only need help for two commands, how about we hard-code it? I wrote a patch which can be seen below. Subject: [PATCH] Expand help

Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
The
.helpcommand in the sqlite3 CLI does not give much information. It only shows a brief message:It would be better if
.helpdisplayed a list of available commands, and.help <command>showed detailed help for that specific command.Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
