a "help" command would be useful

A "help" command in the REPL would be useful. When I tried INim, I could only guess how to quit. Ctrl+D didn't work (I just sent a PR about it), "help" wasn't available.
Update: I can do it in the form of a PR.
I'd prefer implementing Ctrl-D to exit(), like the Python/Coconut REPLs, tmux and bash do...exit() is a bit verbose. (the nim secret REPL similarly exits with Ctrl-Z).
I did it and sent a PR in October, 2018: #47 . No reaction since then...
Well, thanks for coding that jabbalaci, I will definitely use it once implemented. Seems Andrei has been absent from here, maybe ask on gitter?
@AndreiRegiani has kindly let me maintain this repo - this issue is my personal number 1 feature.
As @jabbalaci says, we're trying to get ctrl+d to work, but due to the underlying library nim uses for input, it's quite difficult. Come and check out #56 for deets
fixed all the things!
