Helpful equivalent of describe-mode

Just wondering if you've thought at all about creating a helpful analogue of describe-mode. Personally I find the describe-mode layout pretty ugly, and I would welcome an upgrade. I don't know exactly what should be added or how it should be arranged -- maybe some way of folding the minor mode descriptions? Or some other way or organizing them nicely? I don't know, it's just so uninviting right now:

Who wants to read that? There must be a better way.

Consider this issue 10% proposal and 90% feature request. If you already have some kind of plan I would be happy to work on it.

Maybe you'll find helm-describe-modes useful :wink:.

@xiongtx You know, I always see people using Helm*, and I know they swear by it, but it just looks like such a big thing. Maybe some day I'll give it a try (and helm-describe-modes too, of course).

* I see people using it online, in blogs and such. I don't think I know any IRL Emacs users.
