    Racket: better help commands
    
    For some reason that i don't fully understand, evaluating a function
    in the racket/base namespace first thing after loading errortrace
    breaks the help macro (!).  This patches provides a workaround by
    actually invoking help first thing when Geiser starts, with alibi that
    it serves to preload the help index (in a separate thread).
    
    While i was at it, i improved the message printed in the minibuffer
    when no help is found.
