📝 Original message:Outside of major features advertised network-wide in nService bits,
P2P protocol lacks a good method of enumerating minor features or
extensions. The version number increment is coarse-grained, and is
not self-documenting. A simple extension which lists supported
commands is added, as demonstrated in this pull request:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1471
Another option is for verack to return this information at login,
eliminating the need for a separate command/response.
