What did you do?

~ $ go list -m
command-line-arguments

and look for "command-line-arguments" in documentation and the source tree.

What did you expect to see?

An explanation of the significance of the output.

What did you see instead?

Crickets (though also some bread crumbs in the source and commit messages).

It would be nice if the meaning were properly documented.
