I think the common practice is to have it print "help save".
At least, there are over 30 calls to help_list under gdb/
that look like that.  E.g.,

(gdb) set print
"set print" must be followed by the name of a print subcommand.
List of set print subcommands:

set print address -- Set printing of addresses
...

I'll do that.


I don't think we should bother with aliasing save to 
save-tracepoints, and it may even be annoying at some
point.
