Right, if we can completely merge the ls on rescue mode and that on normal
mode. For now, I am not sure if this is feasible, so I prefer to keep a poor
version of ls for rescue mode, which does not require functions in
normal.mod, until you prove that that is feasible.

I like if you can merge all kinds of handlers this way, thus eliminating the
command.lst and the fs.lst.
But I still think that having commands for parsers and menus, since you can
do:
grub> sh /boot/grub/foo.sh
grub> textmenu
grub> gfxmenu
They won't be very useful for most people, but could be useful for
development.
