No. That command is too specific.  You can only use it for one thing.
Being able to "dump" all the keybindings to stdout so that other
programs can do anything they want with them, that would be useful.  It
is the ratpoison way.  Ryan, Gergely, Shawn, jump in and help me here :)

Similarly, the window list gets dumped to stdout; that motivated me to
develope ratmenu, and a little shell script to create a menu that can
switch between windows.  Thats why noone has bothered to add in a patch
so that the default window list would wrap onto the next line if the
text overflowed; because the proper place for that sort of formatting
and pretty-printing is outside ratpoison, where we've already solved the
problems with third party apps.

Remember, a bloated rat has probably swallowed poison. :)
