'type' is a good attribute name, but it could also be used to reference the
type of pagelist generated (short,long,etc.), but I guess that is what the
'fmt' attribute is. 'state' is another possible attribute name for this.

    (:pagelist type=missing|orphan|all|existing:)

It wasn't very clear what the second group list in the refcount form was
for. It makes more sense now. This would be useful to say "Show me the
existing pages in group X that are referenced from group Y". I'm not sure it
has as obvious applications for orphaned or missing pages.


That's the current plan.  :-)

I wound up forcing the form parameters onto the command line. My first
attempt at this was using broken, but it looks like it's working now. This
should get me by until pagelist is updated.
