Fixes #7512. This adds a hook for developers to add custom help messages when
MethodError
s get displayed. Feel free to bikeshed the naming of this method.This is particularly helpful in cases of intentionally unimplemented methods.
I've also restructured the existing help messages in terms of this new system,
using the
info
command to display them (and a few extra messages, too):Feel free to bikeshed the name (
no_method_error_help
).This is an old branch/idea that I had totally forgotten about; I was reminded by #24284, which would be very trivial in this setup.
