Description

I should be able to extract a port by typing "sudo port ex", but: 

$ sudo port ex
Ambiguous action "ex": could be any of {extract exit}.

There's no reason why anyone would ever type "sudo port exit".

exit is a valid command in the interactive port shell. There is no distinction between commands at the moment and all of them can be called in both interactive mode and from command line.

Commands that do not need to be available on the command line interface:

  • cd
  • quit
  • exit

In 33fa555238be419bf992ca0fb11597bb8c5784f3/macports-base:

Only consider relevant actions for expansion

The cd, quit and exit actions are only useful in shell/batch mode. So, ignore
them when considering what an abbreviated action could expand to, when not in
that mode.
