Was thinking, perhaps it would be better to have a feature flag to use 
the "hidden" commands instead of the ability to hide commands.

If you set the feature flag, you get the additional commands, and they 
show up in help etc.  That way a way to get users to run them could be 
something like:

   JUJU_FEATURE_FLAGS=dev-debug juju dump-model

or something like that.
