Consistent @command args... syntax for all special character strings #65

Description

@gadenbuie

I like the @news pkg {optional_search} syntax. It does make me wonder if, rather than curly quotes with{dplyr}, we ought to support @pkg dplyr. This would align with the tidy style convention of no special formatting for package names, bring this syntax a little closer to other btw shorthands, and bring the syntax a little closer to e.g. Positron Assistant participants. (This argument could also go for @help topic instead of ?topic, etc, so that folks would only need to remember the @ keyword to use shorthands with btw. Maybe this should be spun off into a more general issue.)
