Yes. But would you do that instead of this change?

That and this patch would both fix cases where debug commands are 
special and hidden where the user wouldn't expect it. But if a user 
tries one of them and are surprised that it didn't work, then it will 
not help him that the other would have worked.

It is independent changes and I don't see any reason to not take this 
simple patch.
