This is off-topic, but you might also find `icicle-imenu-command' useful. It
lets you browse among command definitions. It uses the imenu regexp to find
functions, and filters the results with `commandp'. Because of this way of
defining it, it finds only currently defined commands, however, not commands
defined in a file that has not been loaded.
