Pyscript overhaul

 ## 0.9.11 (TBD, 2019)
 * Enhancements
     * Added ``matches_sort_key`` to override the default way tab completion matches are sorted
-* Deprecations
-    * Deprecated support for bash completion since this feature had slow performance. Also it relied on
-    ``AutoCompleter`` which has since developed a dependency on ``cmd2`` methods. 
 * Potentially breaking changes
     * Made ``cmd2_app`` a positional and required argument of ``AutoCompleter`` since certain functionality now
     requires that it can't be ``None``.
     * ``AutoCompleter`` no longer assumes ``CompletionItem`` results are sorted. Therefore you should follow the
     ``cmd2`` convention of setting ``self.matches_sorted`` to True before returning the results if you have already
     sorted the ``CompletionItem`` list. Otherwise it will be sorted using ``self.matches_sort_key``.
+    * Removed support for bash completion since this feature had slow performance. Also it relied on
+    ``AutoCompleter`` which has since developed a dependency on ``cmd2`` methods. 
+    * Removed ability to call commands in ``pyscript`` as if they were functions (e.g ``app.help()``) in favor
+    of only supporting one ``pyscript`` interface. This simplifies future maintenance.
 
 ## 0.9.10 (February 22, 2019)
 * Bug Fixes
