Applied thanks. "cabal list" is much more useful now. Originally "cabal list" on it's own listed all packages. That makes a lot less sense now that we have so many packages and the output for each is a few lines. I get over 3,000 lines of output now. I wonder what you think we should do? Perhaps print a message saying to use some search terms. "cabal list --simple-output" still makes sense with no search terms since that's not intended for human consumption. We should find out what people want the --simple-output for exactly. For example do they really want substring matching by default or exact like "ghc-pkg list", or prefix for command completion?
