This would be a useful command but the idea is to have a single standard (I think.) There is a lot of resistance to any kind of convienence feature, so I doubt this will go over well, even though I personally like it. It would be an easy way for a GTP based tool to quickly find out if the client implemented the standard set or at least enough for the tool to function.

I would like to propose a new GTP command: command_list. It that returns a list of all implemented commands (space delimited). For example:
< command_list
boardsize name protocol_version version black white genmove_black
genmove_white undo
This way the client can determine what GTP commands are available without having to attempt them.
