I agree. Also, we already load session data and preferences to display help,
because we load the correct theme. So I'd be all in favor of a reasonably
efficient way of marking help entries as dependant on a configuration setting.

(I very much think that help entries that are dependant on a preference should
*not* be hidden, but instead explicitly mention how to turn the relevant
preference on/off.)
