Description

The help command currently just dumps help info for every loaded dispatcher. It would be better if it took an argument of a command or a class of commands (e.g.: "help exploit", "help database"). A search through dispatcher names and then command names would make it a lot more useful.

move help_to_s down into CommandDispatcher so each dispatcher will know how to print its own help. see #564
