This is a great idea. At least "help hangup" should show any commands 
that include "hangup" and their description. Now:

asterisk*CLI> help hangup
                 hangup request <no description available>


So you need to know what's the answer before you can see it:

asterisk*CLI> help channel request hangup
Usage: channel request hangup <channel>
        Request that a channel be hung up. The hangup takes effect
        the next time the driver reads or writes from the channel
