Maybe part of the goal should also be to factor some of the crazy gunk
at the top out into _non_ commands files? :-)

There is also a theory that says it's more dangerous to keep it
separate.  If you want to minimize merging pain, you probably want to
minimize how much divergence occurs, so the sooner it gets merged into
mainline and new changes start being made against it instead of the
old stuff, the less nasty merging will need to happen...?
