I don't worry about that too much, but I do think it's important
that we have some way of knowing WHAT commands are available
for a given kernel, without having to consult the source. It's
no big deal you're running the latest and greatest debug kernels,
but it's a bigger issue if you're debugging kernel x.y.z for
a customer and you have to consult the source to find them.

Can we include it in the show output?
