Command name "inspect" causes weird behaviour

[feyzo]

How to reproduce

1. Put the code below in index.js, install commander, run node index.js
2. Result: error: missing required argument 'some'
3. Change command inspect to someothercommand
4. Result: Actual log of the commander object

var program = require('commander');

program
  .command('inspect <some>')
  .description('Test bug')
  .action(function(some, options) {});

console.log(program);

👍 same issue here

> require('commander').command('close').action(console.log).parse(['close'])
{ commands: [],
  options: [],
  _execs: [],
  _allowUnknownOption: false,
  _args: [],
  _name: 'close',
  parent:
   { commands:
      [ [Object],
        [Object],
        [Object],
        [Object],
        [Circular] ],
     options: [],
     _execs: [],
     _allowUnknownOption: false,
     _args: [],
     _name: undefined,
     Command: [Function: Command],
     Option: [Function: Option],
     _events: { close: [Object] } },
  rawArgs: [ 'close' ],
  args: [] }
> require('commander').command('inspect').action(console.log).parse(['inspect'])

console.js:52
Console.prototype.log = function() {
                                ^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

It seems to be related to the EventEmitter system with reserved keywords.
Maybe we can prefix commands on .on(command)

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm experiencing this error too. Does anybody have any workarounds aside from simply changing the command name?
