This goes back into having plugins export a 'canonical' name. Otherwise
I may work like mpe and have 01_shelf, or bzrtools-baz2bzr, or
bzrtools-lifeless, etc.

But I agree, it would be nice to have 'bzr help pluginname'.
Maybe 'bzr help plugins.<pluginname>' to disambiguate for plugins that
export commands of the same name.

Or 'bzr help --plugin <pluginname>' or 'bzr help plugin <pluginname>'

I probably like the last one the most.
