Yes, this would be nice.  Unfortunately, the GnuPG trustdb isn't
really calculated in a way to make this type of output possible.  It's
not impossible, but it would be a fairly large change (and the trustdb
would have to become much larger than it is now).

Maybe something optional.  It's on my "think about ways to do this"
list, anyway.
