I've attached a new version which I consider good to merge (I don't have
direct access to the repo).  I've also included a tiny fix to Emacs's
help message.

The patch includes completion for a variety of commands (in part to test
the flexibility of the parser), including most commands from coreutils,
so it has become a bit bulky.  Given the large number of new functions,
I hope the commit message is detailed enough.
