Thanks.

I also just saw that the patch modifies the subcommand help
e.g. for 'help thread'
  List of thread subcommands:

  thread apply -- Apply a command to a list of threads.
  thread find -- Find threads that match a regular expression.
  thread name -- Set the current thread's name.

...
  Type "help thread" followed by thread subcommand name for full documentation.

was changed into:
  Type "help thread" followed by a command name for full documentation.

For such help about prefix command, I am wondering what is preferrable
between:
   "a thread subcommand name"
   "a subcommand name"
   "a command name"

As the 'List ' line above speaks about subcommand, probably
better to at least reference again subcommand ?

Thanks

Philippe
