It's used differently; g.list has a type= option where the valid
option values are the types, while g.remove, g.rename and g.copy have
a separate option for each type.

In terms of implementing "g.list type=all", the obvious first step
would be to add element->multiple=YES to the type= option so that you
can do e.g. "g.list type=rast,vect". Once that was done, it would be
relatively straightforward to allow "type=all".
