Better view of pnpm ls <pkg>

[vjpr]

Describe the user story

When trying to find all the versions of a package the output is not easy to visually scan.

My specific use case was looking at what version of metro is used in an expo project.

Note that the key information I am looking for is nested, and repeated multiple times.

Describe the solution you'd like

How about inverting the tree structure so it is bottom-up, and maybe some grouping by version number perhaps?

metro: 0.59.0 
  @react-native-community/cli 4.14.0 > react-native 0.63.2 peer > @unimodules/react-native-adapter 5.7.0 > expo 40.0.1

metro: 0.58.0 
  ...

Also, for the command needed: pnpm ls metro --depth=99, the depth feels like we should have an easier way to insist depth=infinity. Maybe a flag...

pnpm why seems to solve this.

Describe the drawbacks of your solution

Adds additional complexity that must be maintained.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Create a separate cli tool.
