HELP no longer shows user words of a type

[Siskin-Bot]

Submitted by: Sunanda

alpha-70:
b: copy []
help block!

block! is a datatype

It is defined as a series of values
It is of the general type block

Found these words:
   b               block!    length: 0
   datatypes       block!    length: 56

But alpha-76:

== []

>> help block!
block! is a datatype

It is defined as a series of values
It is of the general type block

Found these words:
   datatypes       block!    length: 56

Not sure exactly which version made the change. Probably related to the separation of user and system contexts,

Note that only the user context words are not shown. The system context words are shown:

>> help char!
char! is a datatype

It is defined as a 8bit and 16bit character
It is of the general type scalar

Found these words:
   backslash       char!     #"\"
   backspace       char!     #"^H"
   bs              char!     #"^H"
   cr              char!     #"^M"
   escape          char!     #"^["
   lf              char!     #"^/"
   newline         char!     #"^/"
   newpage         char!     #"^L"
   null            char!     #"^@"
   slash           char!     #"/"
   sp              char!     #" "
   space           char!     #" "
   tab             char!     #"^-"

Given that the user context will mostly be made up of duplicate words from the system context, solving this is not an easy problem. Nonetheless, we will need a solution, especially once the system and exports contexts are split as well.

Perhaps a couple refinements to HELP would be in order: /user (to search the user context instead) and /module name (to search the exports of a module). Maybe something less awkward than the /module option would be better...

Current output looks like:

>> help block!
BLOCK! is a datatype.
It is defined as a series of values.
It is of the general type block.

Found these related words:
  datatypes       block!     length: 57 [end! unset! none! logic! integer! ...
Found these related words in user context:
  b               block!     length: 0 []

It should be noted, that above mentioned char! values are part of the library context (system/contexts/lib) and not system (system/contexts/sys).

The system context is not searchable from the help (and it is probably ok, as it is supposed to be low-level).

[Oldes]

In case that user's value is different than the lib's one, both are displayed now:

>> invalid-utf?: false
== false

>> help "invalid-utf?"    
Found these related matches:
  invalid-utf?    native!    Checks UTF encoding; if correct, returns none else position of error.
  lib             object!    [end! unset! none! logic! integer! ...
Found these related matches in the user context:
  invalid-utf?    logic!     false
