 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.
