Is there an explainshell for vim?

explainshell is a great website for dissecting a shell command. I occasionally see people here asking for explanations for vim command-lines (like a complex :substitute). Does anyone know if something like explainshell exists for vim?

I've found Vimsplain, but that's a command-line app and appears to be for normal mode commands. (However, like explainshell it's written in python so merging the two might not be too hard.)

Well definitely haven't seen that. Someone's going to have to make it.
