Description

Similar to Python's [`help()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#help) function, which is very handy at the Python REPL.

Research direction

Start with the interactive shell's command handling and the requested `:doc ` syntax, using Python's `help()` behavior as the reference. Investigate how KDoc and JavaDoc for a symbol should be found and displayed. Done means the shell can provide useful documentation for supported symbols through this command.
