`get_iplayer --showoptions` shows command-line options but then performs a search.
I'm getting this on master at infradead and dinkypumpkin's branch.
I think that it shouldn't run the search, but just exit instead.
Typically, you want just to show the damn options - you don't specify a search string.
Thus, because you haven't supplied a search string it returns every programme in the cache - 800+ results.
I think this is a bug, and I think this is a change from the historical behaviour.
I would be glad to be corrected.
It's very late at night & I'm tired, so I'm not going to try bug-fixing right now. This is more a FYI, a reminder to myself and a request to see if anyone else can reproduce or tell me I'm wrong.
