The idea is to use the help files to implement BULLETIN.

Look up how godoc does references to other things.

Figure out readline completion.  Case sensitive - issue?  Building from
repl.commands?

Switch between MAIL and BULLETIN modes? MAIL commands are documented
[here](https://marc.vos.net/books/vms/help/mail/).
See [godoc](http://localhost:6060/) for the code layout.

## Things to do

  * Run [godoc](http://localhost:6060/) and then review where the help text is lacking.
  * Run this.Skew.Safe() before... each command?  each write?
  * Database
    * trigger to limit values for 'visibility'?
    * trigger to limit values for 'alert'?
  * Add commands:
    * Commands for a local mail system?
    * Commands to connect to Mattermost or mastodon?
  * Make a spreadsheet for signups.
  * Permissions:
    * Review permission requirements for each command.
  * Expire.  This was created due to file storage limits.  Keep it?
  * Code cleanup:
    * Review sql queries and clean out the ones not used.
    * Review sql queries and find duplicates.
    * Use [dupl](https://github.com/mibk/dupl) to find things to generalise.
      There's a `make dupl` target.
  * flag abbreviations with values don't seem to work?

Polishing.  Review each command and put a + next to each as it is
fully done.
