Actually, when I added this stuff, I had the (yet to be built)
"automatic collaboration tool" for cracking passwords with a team of pen
testers in mind.
(Extracting a minimal config from the machine where a new session is
defined, storing it on a central server, distributing it to the next
machine which starts this specific cracking task...)
I doubt that this specific --list= functionality is useful for Johnny
(other --list= functionality is useful, once Johnny gets enhanced to
support jumbo editions).
