18 OK, I just wanted you to understand that --help and some error
19 messages are bound to change as I attempt to clarify them.

21 I also thought about renaming the "list(l)" option as "search",
22 because if you look at the help output, almost every module "lists"
23 something. equery's "list" is actually a search, I don't see why we
24 shouldn't name it that. I think maybe list was used because there were
25 already two "s" options, stats and size. Stats is not implemented so
26 I'm taking it out of help for now. Size can use the short "z", becaues
27 that's quite unique. That would free up "s" for search and it would be
28 a whole lot clearer.

30 Yes? No?
