only a small step towards what you have in mind, but occasionally  
"apropos" is of help. from its manpage:

    apropos  searches a set of database files containing short  
descriptions
    of system commands for keywords and displays the result on the  
standard
    output.

"apropos image | less" for instance gives you a whole bunch of not so  
useful stuff, but also short descriptions for convert, mogrify, or  
pdfimages

cheers,
