Description

when not implementing a catch hook, typing in a command of a group gives you the help for it's subcommands.

if however you implement a catch hook, the catch hook is triggered instead.

I think it would still be useful to show the help for a command group, instead of triggering the catch.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the command group handles the catch hook and why it overrides showing help for subcommands. Look at the logic that decides whether to display help or trigger the catch.
