bug with "compctl -L" in 3.0.1

bug with "compctl -L" in 3.0.1

[Fung-Chai Lim]

Hi,

Although I did a ``compctl -e disable'', ``compctl -L disable''
returns ``compctl disable''.  So does ``compctl''.  This bug
is in both versions 3.0.0 and 3.0.1.

Regards,
fclim.

The manual page says -e has no effect without -d, so on its own it's
completely ignored and not even stored: you would need -de (I don't
know why it was done like that).  However, since its function is to
show up commands even if they're already disabled (so you wouldn't
want to call disable with them), I doubt if it's quite what you want:
I should think ``compctl -c disable'' will probably be enough.  The
general idea seems to be: with no -d or -e, show only enabled
commands; with just -d, show disabled commands; with both -d and -e,
show all.

Because it is the default.  The manual says:

          -e    Without -d this option has no effect.   Otherwise
               this can be combined with -F, -B, -w, -a, -R and -
               G to get names of  functions,  builtins,  reserved
               words or aliases even if they are disabled.

It may be changed to -e combined with -F, -B ... lists enabled ... but
that's the default unless -d is also given.  So in fact it has no effect
without -d.

I see the point now.  I think the manual page would be clearer if it
mentioned it was the default.
