I think so.

Once g.list can list all types, making it list an arbitrary set of
types is simple enough.

I would abandon the approach of having a separate "parse" function in
favour of iterating over element->answers and listing each type as
it's encountered.

lib/do_list.c doesn't need to change; just have cmd/list.c call
do_list() once for each type.
