Note also that one could of course just use "common:basic" or something
like that in command-list.txt. But to handle arbitrary ordering, we
would have to reorder command-list as appropriate (which currently gets
sorted), or do something awful like common:basic1, common:basic2, etc. I
tried to choose the most straightforward approach that didn't involve
duplication of information.
