The new --details option is our chance to change output - it outputs
whatever format we want, because it is a new flag; Rich, do you have any
preferences about what it _should_ output?
--details is still targetted at humans. If you want something more
easily parseable it should use a structured format like CSV. So I
don't think we should be overloading --details for this purpose.
