Let's block this on Bug 1463674 so we don't have conflicts when one of those 2 land.

since validCommands is being used to filter, maybe we can just use that array, rather than using the command cache? I might be missing something here

That was my initial thought as well :) After, I was thinking of future commands that might be valid but not registered on a given toolbox for reason X.
I'm not sure this is important for now, but I felt it was more future proof. I don't feel too strong about that, so I can remove it.

we probably want to use the validCommands array, as things like `:$$` will throw if its not part of that array. I was thinking that some things are meant to be "javascript-like" and others were only commands. The one that currently spans that gap is `help`. but I am not 100% convinced I am right. Let's keep the `validArray` for now, and then later we can revisit this.

Bug 1475165 landed before this one, and thus made the test fail (the autocompletion results are flipped).
A new patch will be updated in the next minutes.
