The "view" alias for the visualize subcommand is neither completed nor recognized. It's undesirable to complete it because it's first letters are the same as for visualize, making completion less rather than more efficient without adding much in the way of interface discovery. However, it needs to be recognized in order to enable log option completion for it. Recognize but do not complete the view command by creating and using separate lists of completable_subcommands and all_subcommands.
