The problem is that people, including myself, are used to the '-l' switch from fdisk (and it's a nice mnemonic to 'list partition layout'). Of course, we could use this as the short option and something like '--print-all' as the long option, but that would introduce another inconsistency, right? Do you have any suggestions for solving this issue? Maybe support both '-l'/'--list' and '-p'/'--print-all'?
