The command should be removed because it does not make much sense anymore.
However, it is doumented at many places thus it is not easy to remove.

perhaps I missed something but...with the command removed how are we able to see
the private keys (esp the details on where they are stored (smartcards)).

Meanwhile the toggle command is a dummy and the extra infos for secret keys are
always displayed.
