[db-wg] --list-versions

Because --list-versions & --show-version require a single object (which also happens to be a primary key) rather than a list.
I'm certainly not sure what the output of --list-versions should look like against multiple objects, and --show-version makes no sense against multiple objects IMHO.

If you want to achieve this, you need to handle this in your own script/wrapper.
I don't think this makes sense for the db to do for you.

I understand that a netname can (and often does) correlate to multiple IP address blocks.  That fact, by itself, does not clarify why it would either be difficult or impossible to provide the --list-versions and --show-version functionality for netnames.
