Description
Command / flag to detect on demand duplicate app installations / installations outside applications folders:
list --multiplemultiple
Show all paths for duplicate app ID installations in your applications folders.
list --outsideoutside
Show all paths for app ID installations outside your applications folders.
Probably use flags because you might want to show multiple & outside in the same output. Could make --problems to include all problems, currently just --multiple & --outside, but possibly others in the future. Or combine multiple flags.

Research direction
Start with the existing list command and trace how it finds application installations and displays their paths. Decide how the proposed --multiple and --outside options should combine; done means duplicate app IDs and installations outside application folders are reported on demand, including both categories when requested.
