json: implement {help} template

We should consider add HTML rendering of the RST into the response as a
follow-up. I attempted to do this, but there was an empty array
returned by the rstdoc() template function. Not sure what's going on.
Will deal with it later.

import sys

globalvars = {}
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
while lines:
    l = lines.pop(0)
    if l.startswith('SALT'):
        print l[:-1]
    elif l.startswith('>>> '):
        snippet = l[4:]
        while lines and lines[0].startswith('... '):
            l = lines.pop(0)
            snippet += l[4:]
        c = compile(snippet, '<heredoc>', 'single')
        try:
            exec c in globalvars
        except Exception, inst:
            print repr(inst)
