-"""A simple example demonstrating how to remove unused commands.
-
-Commands can be removed from  help menu and tab completion by appending their command name to the hidden_commands list.
-These commands will still exist and can be executed and help can be retrieved for them by
-name, they just won't clutter the help menu.
-
-Commands can also be removed entirely by using Python's "del".
