        The "more dangerous" commands have traditionally been put at the end
like that.  Someone who didn't know any better would perhaps type "k bob" to
kiss bob, thinking they could just use the plain k instead of kiss, for
example.  Done your way, "k" would first match "kill" perhaps starting a
fight, when all that was meant was a kiss. :)
