Maybe, but only if the equivalent mged commands were more easily
identified. One of my goals (after I demo the auto-man-page) is to look at
improving the <mged cmd> help, esp. for those that are missing.
The attr system is now so much better than the old days that I would rather
see the "mater" and "comb_color" et alii go away and the attr sytem
continue to be improved!
