I'd been using -D1 for that, but don't mind -V.

Probably not.   It seemed like the thing to do at the time.

Since I never do that, it doesn't bother me.

Given how long that list is[1] and how likely the affected user base
is to not know how to paginate output, we might want to stop it before
disp_vecs and/or disp_filter_vecs.

...or not.   


[1] It has been pointed out to me that list really should be sorted in
some way other than the order they modules were added.  Doing this turns
out to be klunky, but not terribly hard.  Should we?
