[Vimperator] Patch: :tabmove command

[Viktor Kojouharov]

I'd like to join the discussion, since it was something I also meant to do.

My ideas on the help are as follows. First and most important, the
g_Foo variables for settings, commands and mappings have to be broken
down, and a Help object will be created from most of those.
the Help object will look something like this
Help = {
 [
    [tag1, tag2, ...],
    usage,
    short_text,
    help_text,
    maybe type here (whether it's a command, mapping, etc)
  ]
}

and the g_Foo command will change into objects as well, and be added
to the Vimperator class. All the help stuff will be stripped from
them, so only the tags (which will be the same for the help and these
objects) and functions will be left.

p.s. Sorry if part of this message was sent twice. I'm not used to
using the gmail interface (and vimperator)
