"apropos" searches the first lines of the doc strings, not only the
command names.  So if we document the new commands like this:

  show-opcodes -- display disassembly of next line with each prompt

"apropos disassembly" will find that as well.  Does that solve your
problem with the name I suggested?

Right, I thought about something that begins with "disassemble", but
didn't want to shoot our completion habits in the foot, since
currently typing just "disas TAB" is all I need to get disassembly.
