Neither %%!? nor ?%%! display the docstring for the shell execute cell magic. Each case gives a separate error message, however:

In [1]: %%!?
ERROR: Line magic function `%` not found.

In [2]: ?%%!
Object `%%` not found.

That is a hilarious sequence of characters. You can see the help by doing %%system?, but obviously you can't find that out without inspecting %%! first.

Mmm yeah - actually, the %%! docstring doesn't actually indicate that it's a shortcut for %%system - it's pretty obvious, but that should probably be added.

Given the fact that the PR #4387 was closed two months ago I believe that this issue can be closed as well.
