channel get/info is not enough

[thommey]

there's no way of knowing what channel settings are available (think udefs)

[pseudo]

I suggest a getudef command with an optional argument to specify the type to list. Without arguments, it should list all available udef settings.

[pseudo]

Done. I've made the following changes:

[channel get #chan] (without setting argument) gives all settings and their values
[getudefs ?type?] returns all udefs, filtered by type, if given.
[chansettype setting] returns the type of a built-in or user defined setting (int/str/flag/pair)

Replying to pseudo:

[channel get #chan] (without setting argument) gives all settings and their values

For udefs the value is not given in the output, what does appear is what type they are. I don't know if this is intended to be this way (I actually think not, reading what you said that it should return the current values this seems more like a bug), but it would seem more uniform/correct with respect to the other built-in settings that it should return the value instead of the type.

Yeah, you're right. I fixed this.

Thanks for testing 1.8 thoroughly, that's the kind of feedback we've been hoping for. :)
