DESCRIPTION
When passed a search query like *foo* it will look at all the modules
in all repositories and see if the word foo appears anywhere in the
name, description, version, license or any other field in the module's
descriptor and print their names.
When passed a partial module name like com.acme.foo* it will look at
all the modules in all the repositories and see if their names start
with com.acme.foo and print their names.
When passed a complete module name like com.acme.foobar it will print
the list of available versions for that module, with the module reposi‐
tory in which each version was found. Versions marked with * are not
currently available on the local file system but will be downloaded on-
demand from remote servers.
When passed a complete module name and version like com.acme.foobar/1.0
it will print information about the contents of a module archive, its
description, its licence and its dependencies

Shows the full description for module details
--show-incompatible=mode
Also show versions incompatible with the current Ceylon instal‐
lation. allowed values are: 'yes', 'no' and 'auto'
--show-names
