Whow! This is really cool, especially for people that do not know the
different commands by heart -- like me. I often know there's a
command that's spelled somehow like X but I don't exactly remember.
Your patch seems perfect for that situation. :-)
Keen on seeing it in a future release. Thanks in advance. Did someone
suggest it or was it your very own idea?
