I thought about it, and then decided against it: I think that "maint"
commands should provide commands that really apply only to the
maintainers, commands that allow us to dump data structures, diagnose
inconstencies, issues, etc... It's really a judgment call, as we
probably have not been completely consistent in the way we name our
commands...
