It is probably best to do both.  I already fixed this one, so you
don't have to do it now.  But having things in the bug tracker is a
good way to avoid losing bugs.  I do get CC'd, but until the flow gets
too large, I would like to have it appear on the list as well.

The overall help syntax changed, so it couldn't figure out what the
commands were.  Fixed (arx-bash-complete,1).
