Okay.

There are 2 functions. print_all does the actual job of 'print all'.
When invoked using the command line switch _print_all calls print_all
and exits, in other cases do_print calls print_all. I chose the names
according to the way 'version' and '--version' are implemented through
'do_print' and '_version' respectively.

Has it messed up the naming conventions?

Happy hacking,
