Agreed. A wrapper function whose purpose is solely to tidy up help seems like a bad idea in general. I'm somewhat more sympathetic to Nick's point that the name the user types should be all-lowercase and a class would be mixed case, but on that I think it's actually the naming convention that should change (name classes/functions based on usage, not implementation). The rule to me is that changing the underlying implementation shouldn't affect the user interface.
