Are we going to get this request for any command with a long output
list?
Perhaps we better add a generic way to filter the output. Unfortunately
we can't use "command | grep /pattern/". Not all commands accept
another command following. We could put it in front:
filter /pattern/ command
It's like a command modifier then. But one with an argument.
Note that the filtering would happen line-by-line, thus if there is an
item that takes several lines only matching ones would show up.
