Description
A -filter option when using choco list/clist would be wonderful.
i.e. clist -l -filter a* would show only packages beginning with the letter "a."
If there is a current way to achieve the same results directly from choco.exe without such methods as (CMD) | filter "a" (which is not the same as above) than please excuse my ignorance and educate me.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by examining the choco list and clist command entry points and how choco.exe parses existing options. Compare the requested -filter a* behavior with the title's default search-field setting, then define which behavior the command should expose and verify that package listings are limited as requested.
