Is everyone in agreement that we need the special underscores here? It
strikes me as a strange and unnecessary distinction, or perhaps I just
haven't thought about it hard enough.
On a related note, I don't think we need to cram everything under
discussion this week into a single line of LIST EXTENSIONS; if we want
to indicate specification revision and command sets available, can't we
just make them two separate lines?
(Oh, and would VERSION be a better name?)
