:quote, :bar and :star are the helptags for :" (Vim comment) :|
(concatenating several commands on one ex-command-line) and :*
('compatible' equivalent of :@) respectively, due to the fact that Vim
translates " | and * to these words before looking up any help subject
in the tags file.

rather than painstakingly searched for, because the automatic process
is much faster, and, though not perfect, much less error-prone than
maintaining the lists by hand.
I would suggest to maintain a list of exceptions in this case thus.
And filter out everything that does not match '^\l\+$'.
I've put syntax/vim.vim version 7.4a-1 up on my website:
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#SYNTAX_VIM . I don't
intend to remove the documented standard-plugin commands that are in the
help (:TOhtml, etc).
As far as "why not maintain them by hand", I agree with Tony: very error
prone. Its easier to remove incorrect ones by filtering. Plus, it'd be
extremely tedious.
Thank you for your feedback!
