This breaks test-extension of the testsuite:

The reference outputs should be updated in the same patch that causes
a change in test output.

The goal is that the testsuite runs clean on *every* revision in the repo.

Note: the mailing list server currently seems defunct, so this email
most likely will not appear on the list or it will appear with a delay.

I'm cc-ing to Dirkjan and to Peter Arrenbrecht, as we had a brief discussion
on IRC about your patches, which both showed some interest in your patches --
at least in the first one ("[PATCH 1 of 5] help: enable listing of a subset
of the command list").

I for one would like to look further into the complete series, if you
fix the testsuite.
