Re: coding an Application in perl

Hi,

I notice that the new() in Application.swg sets a list of
known_commands, and it is not quite the same as in Operations
on the wiki:

Application::new   Operations
----------------   ----------
          backup   backup
        discover
        estimate   estimate
           index   index      # doc says unimplemented
                   print      # doc says unimplemented
         restore   restore
       selfcheck   selfcheck
         support   support
        validate   validate

I'm working on writing an abstract base class that should sort of
know the list of subcommands (at the time of parsing the command
line, so before Application::new() can be called), so I guess it
needs its own copy of the list. Maybe I should just include all
the entries from both lists? Will 'discover' ever be a thing? Or
is that an old idea that should be removed from the list?

Thanks,
