Great, see below.

The inconsistences were that is wrote to stderr (no other --list options do) and it had an extra heading for historical reasons. I accepted this pull request despite it might theoretically break things: NOTE! any scripts/programs depending on this might need to be adjusted. Perhaps Johnny the GUI is affected, I doubt there are any others in this case. Unless the Test Suite is... but I think it checks both stderr and stdout. I'll have a look at it right away.

Some things (especially core changes) could/should be discussed on list first, perhaps with a patch (early, PoC or complete). With that said, I really appreciate pull requests. In fact, I would appreciate a pull request for your zsh completion, complete with whatever is needed (maybe a zsh-completion make target? Or maybe change the existing bash-completion make target to do both (new name shell-completion or something like that).

thanks,
