I'd like to avoid having so many commands that it becomes necessary.  I
don't think arch's help output is a good role model.  It might be good
to list them in logical order rather than alphabetically.

There might end up being a fair number of commands if you count ones
intended for scripting, advanced or debugging use, but I don't think
they need to be listed in the default help message.

I'd like to move some information into 'bzr help introduction', 'bzr
help tutorial' etc, and also allow that to be dumped back out as HTML.
