Description
I hadn't even come across the `list` command before seeing a [student getting confused by it](https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/17nou9j/some_questions_about_haskell_package/) earlier today. The [documentation](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cabal-commands.html#cabal-list) mentions "installed packages", which is not a concept that still really exists with v2 commands.
Apologies if there's already an issue for this. GitHub's search is terrible for this sort of thing (stripping `-`, and treating whitespace as "or").
