Unfortunatly, there is `(gdb) list' command, so one would expect a 
certain level of correspondance between `(gdb) list' and `(gdb maint 
list'.  This is like `(gdb) info breakpoints' vs `(gdb) maint info 
breakpoints'.

This also rules out my `maint search' suggestion :-(
`maint query <db> <query>'?

True.
