Raise (help, scinotes...) windows when iconified

It's not a bug but it would be a valuable improvement:
When the help command is called, nothing happens if the help window has already been created and iconified.
One has to realize that the help window is iconified and make it appear manually.
Try for example:
help(); // => help window appears
// => iconify window
help(); // nothing happens
It would be nice if the help window was raised (de-iconified) automatically.
The same applies to scinotes, variables browser, command history, module manager... essentially all the functions that are callable from the console menubar and that create windows.
And it's true whether these functions are activated from the console menubar or by a direct call to the corresponding commands.
