busybox has a--list switch to get the list of all supported commands, can the same be added to coreutils?

on windows i use it like this:

	FOR /F %%C IN ('call "%~dp0busybox.bat" --list') DO (
		IF [%TOOL%]==[%%C] (
			call "%~dp0busybox.bat" %*
			goto :eof
		)
	)

Sounds like an excellent idea! We print the list on errors already so the necessary info is in the code already, so it should be easy.
