After looking into the helpful code I realize it used s.el, dash.el and some
other libraries which are not part of Emacs, so I guess chances to get it into
Emacs are slim to none, since all those packages would also need inclusion. That
might also explain the silence from the author(s)?

So the alternative is to develop similar functionality ourselves into built-in 
help?
