Description:
 MySQL  localhost:4406 ssl  SQL > ? alter user;
ERROR: 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '? alter user' at line 1

How to repeat:
 MySQL  localhost:4406 ssl  SQL > ? alter user;

Suggested fix:
Whether mysqlsh client can add syntax help information?

This is working as of version 8.0.13:

mysql-js> \? alter user
Syntax:
ALTER USER [IF EXISTS]
    user [auth_option] [, user [auth_option]] ...
    [REQUIRE {NONE | tls_option [[AND] tls_option] ...}]
    [WITH resource_option [resource_option] ...]
    [password_option | lock_option] ...

ALTER USER [IF EXISTS]
    USER() IDENTIFIED BY 'auth_string'
