Right. Sure. I guess I was just wary of API modifications, but no problem to do
so. Split that into it's own patch.

My reasoning was to have something obscure enough that it would be unlikely to
clash with other commands. I realize now that was pretty crappy reasoning -
what else would be called "help"?
Note that this feedback affects the first patch in my last patch series, so
I've changed that patch, rather than change it in a new patch on top of that
one.
In other words, these three patches replace the first two patches in the old
series, but the last two in the last series still applies. I'll do things
differently if you tell me how.
