What about forcing help on for all prompts? The purpose of nohelp is to give 
more space to edit text, but you don't care about the contents in the edit 
window when saving a file or typing a search query. You do care about the edit 
window when the linter is active but having the help show would better indicate 
it is active. I use nohelp and would have no problem if it was forced on in 
prompts.
