Hmm - this is a difficult one. If we add more commands to systat(1) in
future, we're going to run into this problem again and renaming commands
to make it fit won't be feasible. 'tcpstat' gives me the creeps, too.
Perhaps it would be best to pass some context to the help command, ala
gdb(1), for example (albeit not thought out):

	usage: help {sys,inet,inet6}
