Addresses issue #554 that I raised a while ago. Best way to see changes is to test it out I think. Noticeable things:
One important note, I've retained the parsing of options from --help[-types]. I employ caching so that only first push has a delay. On my slow i3 I barely notice it. Bash unfortunately doesn't have persistent caching like zsh.
If users/others are bothered by the delay, I can modify it to use the fixed strings approach you had before.
I'll also post this to users ML, though doesn't seem to have huge traffic.
