Description
Feature or enhancement
Make pdb's help message less ugly.
Pitch
Currently, the help message of pdb is not pretty.
(Pdb) h a a(rgs) Print the argument list of the current function. (Pdb) a(rgs) is a little bit confusing by itself and the description's indentation is too long(directly from the docstring). commands is even worse.
(Pdb) h commands commands [bpnumber] (com) ... (com) end (Pdb) The docstring for each command is not entirely unified (whether there's a space between the command and the description) and for some docstrings they don't match the documentation.
(Pdb) h enable enable bpnumber [bpnumber ...] is different than the documentation enable [bpnumber ...]
We can make it better and more user friendly.
