Well how about a documentation system that could look back over your history and notice that you've been misspelling a function name or that you've forgotten to load a package, and dynamically recommend a solution? Duncan is just trying to give you some example of what the new system might be used for. It really is fantastically more powerful than the previous static solution, but it will take some time to develop tools to use those capabilities to the fullest. Think of the new help system as a new freeway - you have to put up with a lot of delays during construction, but once it's finished you'll be much better off and you'll wonder how you ever got on beforehand.
