For the record, the current output is 26 lines, plus you probably want
to account for 1 line of the user's next shell prompt. So we are 3 lines
over already.

Scott's proposal is about grouping the commands more sensibly. Many of
the complaints are about the length of the output. Maybe we should scrap
having a list of commands altogether and just point at section-specific
documentation, each of which could discuss basic commands related to it.

I think there has been mention of task-oriented documentation pointers
before, and I think this is a place where we would want it.
