Since the dev command has a prior history of saying "(none)", you might
as well let crash reveal everything it finds (including the (none)
entries).  Then you can avoid telling folks about the "-f" option.

So I vote for showing it all with just "dev".   Eventually someone who
really understands it can explain why it is or isn't meaningful to
reveal an entry that has a NULL ops field.  But for now, hide
nothing :-)
