[New-bugs-announce] [issue22705] Idle extension configuration: add option-help option

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

#3068 adds a extension configuration dialog, with some validation of user input.  msg228890 suggest a new 'option-help' option to explain the meaning of options, limit int entries when appropriate, and limit string choices (with a drop-down list) when appropriate.  The help could also indicate options that require a restart to take effect.
