Nice.  It's a bit of a mouthful for users, though.

I don't think we can expect users to do all that just to change the
behaviour of these *Help* commands.  Perhaps if we put the
`display-buffer-from-help-p' function into Emacs.

`help-window-select' is (if you squint at it) the kinda-sorta user
option in the opposite direction, so perhaps the way forward here is to
just define a new user option, or all a new value (`both'?) that affects
how windows are selected from the *Help* window.  I guess a new user
option would be the simplest.
