If an argument is given, the return value is a word list of all built in commands that match the given pattern.
Multiple patterns may be specified; the result is a concatenated list of return values as if each pattern had been processed individually. Specifically, any duplicates will NOT be removed.

This is mostly useful for writing completion scripts.
