Comment (by arma):

 It also occurs to me that since this case is really only for these two
 cases:
 {{{
   { "l", "Log", 1, 0},
 [...]
   { "HashedControlPassword", "__HashedControlSessionPassword", 1, 0},
 }}}
 and I don't think anybody even remembers the "-l means log" case, we might
 be better served stripping the commandline_only element of
 config_abbrev_t, and removing the command_line option to
 config_expand_abbrev(), and just adding an explicit special-case where
 this patch went, that says "if it's HashedControlPassword, then rewrite it
 to this other thing, and here's why".

 I guess there's value to having the general-case infrastructure if we
 later find a second reason to use it, but in the meantime it sure seems
 overengineered.
