/* This routine takes a line of TEXT and a CLIST in which to start the
   lookup.  When it returns it will have incremented the text pointer past
   the section of text it matched, set *RESULT_LIST to point to the list in
   which the last word was matched, and will return a pointer to the cmd
   list element which the text matches.  It will return NULL if no match at
   all was possible.  It will return -1 (cast appropriately, ick) if ambigous
   matches are possible; in this case *RESULT_LIST will be set to point to
   the list in which there are ambiguous choices (and *TEXT will be set to
   the ambiguous text string).

   If the located command was an abbreviation, this routine returns the base
   command of the abbreviation.

   It does no error reporting whatsoever; control will always return
   to the superior routine.

   In the case of an ambiguous return (-1), *RESULT_LIST will be set to point
   at the prefix_command (ie. the best match) *or* (special case) will be NULL
   if no prefix command was ever found.  For example, in the case of "info a",
   "info" matches without ambiguity, but "a" could be "args" or "address", so
   *RESULT_LIST is set to the cmd_list_element for "info".  So in this case
   RESULT_LIST should not be interpeted as a pointer to the beginning of a
   list; it simply points to a specific command.  In the case of an ambiguous
   return *TEXT is advanced past the last non-ambiguous prefix (e.g.
   "info t" can be "info types" or "info target"; upon return *TEXT has been
   advanced past "info ").

   If RESULT_LIST is NULL, don't set *RESULT_LIST (but don't otherwise
   affect the operation).

   This routine does *not* modify the text pointed to by TEXT.

   are actually help classes rather than commands (i.e. the function field of
