platformio
cli: `pio run --list-targets` should show `envdump`, `exec`, `test` [and others?]
Configuration
Operating system: MacOS 12.6.1
PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): 6.1.5
Description of problem
When I type pio run --list-targets I don't see the test target. I guess it should be listed, as it actually exists [?].
Actual Results
✗ pio run --list-targets
Environment Group Name Title Description
------------- -------- ----------- --------------------------- ----------------------

Expected Results
Same as above, but also test target listed.
Additional info
I don't know how I know about the test target. Maybe I just experimented, maybe I read about it somewhere in the docs. Anyway, pio run --target test does work, so it is a target, so my intuition is that it should be listed.
# dump current build environment pio run --target envdump
~ https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/section_env_build.html#targets
OK, so it is not only test, but also envdump and maybe some other values that I don't know about yet. I wish I could get to know them by running --list-targets ;-)
And another one…
To execute a native program, you need to use exec target for the pio run --target command.
~ https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/native.html#running-of-program
The exec target is not listed:
✗ pio run -e native --list-targets

But it works:
✗ pio run -e native --target exec
