+help.go is meant to contain a rough hodge podge of functions that are mainly
+used in the auto generated code. Indeed, several functions here are simple
+wrappers so that the sub-packages don't need to be smart about which stdlib
+packages to import.
+
+Also, the 'Get..' and 'Put..' functions are used through the core xgb package
+too. (xgbutil uses them too.)
