Yes, but IIRC I felt that commit fixed half the problem without spotting
the other half needed fixing.  Not difficult to miss...

I wouldn't blame that commit.  Without it:

$ show -pref
mhl: -pref unknown

$ show -pref text/plain
show: bad message list text/plain

I think this gets back to the issue of programs not knowing about
the switches and arguments of programs that they call.  And so the
fix will have to wait for that to be resolved.

Seems to be 85bc89701 from 2016-01.  It's not just -pref.

$ show -part
show: missing argument to -part
$ show -part 42
mhl: -part unknown
