I'm not fussed about the --plugin feature, it's kinda cute, but I'm
not sure it's super useful to find out which commands a plugin
provides. What _is_ useful is being able to see what commands are from
a plugin, so that when you can't understand why a command isn't
working it's easy to see that it's from a plugin.
So I think it shouldn't require -v to see which plugin a command comes
from, that should be the default behaviour IMHO.
