   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

   "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

   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 ").
