Adding a /usr/bin/-h command or whatever sounds like overkill to me.
I wouldn't want that to be present on every system in the world.

If you're maintaining a system that has extremely novice users on it,
you're going to be the one selecting their shell for them, so you can
just customize their shell.

E.g. add a -h() function in /etc/bash.bashrc (or whatever your Linux
distribution uses for that filename) which prints the message you'd
like your users to see.
