i've thought about this a bit and i think the current semantic is correct.
`geom --help` should in fact return:
usage: geom --help help
geom --help list [name ...]
geom --help status [-s] [name ...]
geom --help load [-v]
geom --help unload [-v]
the reason is that although '--help' is not a class at the moment there might
be a '--help.ko' somewhere. using 'geom --help load' one could load that
module.
the geom manual states that the other commands are only available if the class
exists.
cheers.
