I think the 'help' text in the monitor is only really intended as a
brief usage summary reminder (in particular "help" on its own prints the
concatenation of all the "help foo" command help, so having "help foo"
print a long bit of documentation makes "help" output look weird). The
full documentation of each command is in the QEMU documentation proper,
which is now at
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/monitor.html#commands and where
the 'set_password' documentation describes the behaviour more fully.
To make this work in general we'd have to somehow support rendering the
rST-format documentation that ends up in the manual as a user response
in the monitor, which feels like it would be tricky.

`help set_password` in qemu monitor prints `set_password protocol
password action-if-connected -- set spice/vnc password` which doesn't
allow to figure out how to use this subcommand.
