That confusion however shows how hacky the approach to clobber the
main_cmds global table by stuffing other things in it and sorting, without
saying "who cares, we will exit after we are done with this processing
anyway".  If this patch were for inclusion, such a comment should be there
immediately before it starts to muck with the command table.
