Bart Schaefer b242121983 51593: improve search for command name after skipping prefix assignments
This is aimed mostly at use of run-help as a standalone function rather
than as a widget.  When run-help is invoked outside widget context,
there's no source line to search for the original command name, so this
attempts searching the arguments.
