i'll have to look for a real example.
my hope is, that the multiple commands on one line will be
alphabetical in order, and sorted into the list by their first command,
so that when you parse the output, you still get all commands in
alphabetical order, with exceptions only from commands further down the
list.

so that when the first letter of output starts with b, you can be sure
that all commands with a have been processed already.

as i said above and in the previous mail i believe the multiple keys are
not a problem at all.

__fish_describe_command itself already does things right, it is the code
that calls it in complete_cmd_desc that would need to be changed to take
advanted of the assumption of mostly alphabetical order.
