No, I don't want to change the way -e or -E behave. One possible change
is:
        pkg_info -e xtrans -e xsnow
        xtrans-1.2.2
        xsnow-1.42nb2

instead of the current
        pkg_info -e xtrans -e xsnow
        xsnow-1.42nb2

...but of course, the question remains if that output should be sorted
as well.
