Description
I run help at top level
then I see some command I'm interested in, so I run it again for that command
Would be cool to have a way of getting it to show at least one level of subcommands from top level, so you're looking at the tree. That's basically what the docs do. (I guess that could be an argument either that it's unnecessary or that it's useful.) Probably shouldn't be the default, but maybe -hh or something stupidly cute like that.

Research direction
Use the top-level and nested help examples in the issue, along with the linked CLI alias documentation, to clarify the desired command tree. Identify the CLI help entry point and determine how an optional flag such as -hh should expose one level of subcommands without changing the default; done means the output shows commands and subcommands as intended.
