Would be nice to have a standard extended format for -q, eg

   rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n'

Much nicer for biarch systems.

Maybe available with someting like -qx ? x being xtended format. so you 
can easily type

   rpm -qax

instead of

   rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n'
