Even better, I'd like to have a --verbose option. That is,
without options you don't get the variable list, but you can
have if you want.
Yes, Sven, this would be backward-incomaptible, but I think I
can live with it ;-)
I've added a quiet option in CVS, but I'm happy to change that if
there's a consensus. Though it strikes me a verbose option would
be somewhat redundant, since
open foo --verbose
would be equivalent to
open foo
varlist
