Oh, cool. Is that documented anywhere? I see a mention of @latest in the
pkg(1) man page under the install, update, & list subcommands, but not a
indication that it's generally available.
Perhaps putting a "pkg list '*@latest'" example in the man page would help
lead people there, though if it works everywhere, describing it in the
"Package FMRIs and Versions" section of pkg(5) would be good too.
