Is it the intention that there are optional commands that are not
advertised in LIST EXTENSIONS? Currently, there are
LIST ACTIVE.TIMES
LIST DISTRIBUTIONS
LIST DISTRIB.PATS
LIST NEWSGROUPS
These are not strictly "extensions", and I imagine that the first three
at least are relatively under-used, but a client that maintains an
offline NEWSGROUPS file might want to use LIST NEWSGROUPS <wildmat>
(after NEWGROUPS) in every session.
On the other hand, perhaps we don't want to bulk out the LIST EXTENSIONS
response with these.
