contacts list --fields name,email

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Need better docs on what fields are available besides name,email

2. giving name,email as the args and the search value as --title is confusing.  
let me give names to look up as args, and create a --fields or something to 
specify what fields to print

btw, i'm changing the contacts delete and add so they take search strings in 
args.  we'll deprecate use of --title for that but still support it.  see my 
upcoming cl

says that this can be used to backup/dump your contacts:

google contacts list > contacts_backup.csv

I only get name and email, which is not what I call a "backup" or "dump".  Any 
way to get the full monty?

That article kind of jumped the gun. But don't worry, contacts is getting an 
overhaul very soon.

I'm not sure why this was never closed, but 0.9.11 uses the --fields options 
for all list commands. If something seems amiss, just post on this issue.
