I've toyed with this as well and I'm willing to reconsider it again.  One
issue to realize is that the current bk behaviour is that if you do

	bk xyz

and xyz is not a bk command, it falls through to execing xyz (or trying to).
That can sometimes be useful.  Think about that and if people don't care
about that then let's bat around ideas about what the list of commands 
should be and what options they should have.  Maybe on Harlan's wiki?
Or here, perhaps here is better and as we converge we move them off 
to the wiki to organize them into a nice record.
