Check build/html/library/idle.html, the help.html diff, and the text
displayed by Help => IDLE Help. Add a blurb and create a PR.
It can be worthwhile to occasionally generate help.html without
touching idle.rst. Changes to the master version and to the doc
build system may result in changes that should not changed
the displayed text, but might break HelpParser.
As long as master and maintenance versions of idle.rst remain the
same, help.html can be backported. The internal Python version
number is not displayed. If maintenance idle.rst diverges from
the master version, then instead of backporting help.html from
master, repeat the procedure above to generate a maintenance
