help_topic_target parses the expression being passed to the
help function call to find the innermost module subset expression in
it.
find_env acts similarly to find, except that it
looks in the current environment<U+2019>s parents rather than in the global
environment search list, it returns only one hit (or zero), and it returns
the environment rather than a character string.
call_help invokes a help() call expression for a package help
topic, finding the first help function definition, ignoring the one
from this package.
help_topic_target(topic, caller)find_env(name, caller)
call_help(call, caller)
the unevaluated expression passed to help.
the environment from which help was called.
the name to look for.
the patched help call expression.
help_topic_target returns a list of two elements containing
the innermost module of the help call, as well as the name of the
object that<U+2019>s the subject of the help call. For help(a$b$c$d),
it returns list(c, quote(d)).
