I second that about the   As well as what he measures, the commands
are sometimes the top-level fan-out for people trying to find an
operation or information, so you don't want the number to be too high.
 (So that'd be a point in favour of fetch --ghosts, rather than
fetch-ghosts.)

However, plugins can affect the behavior of Bazaar, and because they
can be loaded from several locations it might not be active to the
user just which ones are active.  I think we do need a way for the
user to find that out.  On the whole I think this is an improvement,
so +1

I think things shouldn't be hidden if users might want them in the
normal course of operation, leaving aside debugging or developing
Bazaar.
