BTW: I noticed some unpleasant side effects when playing around with
Andy's solution. The plugin seems to interfer with jumping to the
correct help section. Using :h topic this put me somewhere near the topic,
but not at the right position. This does not happen everytime and I assume
this only happens, when a help page is opened for the first(?) time.
