The command manager accepts an 3d array for defineCommands but requires an array
of objects all with {name: command} which is superflous.

Reproducible: Always

actually, if we're being pedantic...

+        var command = isinstance(cmdary[i], Array) ?
+                      {name: cmdary[i][0]} : cmdary[i];

should be...

+        var command = isinstance(cmdary[i], Array) ?
+            {name: cmdary[i][0]} : cmdary[i];

Because the previous line has no unclosed paren or brace, the continuing line
gets a single indent level (4 spaces.)  Not a big offense though, nice patch.

I assume you figured out (or someone told you) that removeCommands was
originally meant to take an array of command objects, which happens to be the
return value of defineCommands.

Heh, couldnt seem to find any examples of ternary indentation to go by.

Never really noticed about the returned array from defineCommands, is there any
point in using this path now then?
It's actually the same rule that determines what to do when you want to break
right before the right-hand-side of an assignment, as in...

I don't see any harm in keeping the old path around, probably someone is already
using it in a plugin.
aha, here's the other example I was looking for...

corrected coding pedantics

>Index: mozilla/extensions/irc/js/lib/command-manager.js
>-    for (var c in commands)
>-        this.removeCommand(commands[c]);
>+    for (var i = 0; i < cmdary.length; ++i)

This wont work when called using the previous style, which you very carefully
tried to cope with inside the loop.

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/extensions/irc/js/lib/command-manager.js#
179 sets a property for each command defined, using the command's name as the
property name. It is not an array - so it wont have a length or numeric
properties.

You should keep the |in| version of the loop, since arrays only have their
numeric indicies set as enumerable in normal circumstances, or somehow branch
the codepaths outside of the loop constructs.
