[M-x gripe-mode]
Argh. Why do I have to type 'show {dir|path}' to print their current
value, but not 'set {dir|path}' to set them? I would prefer that when a
'set' or 'show' command is ellided, the non-destructive command, i.e.
'show', be assumed.
I don't know much about user interfaces, but I know what I like :-)
