manpage: document -playlist being unsafe in its option description This really should have been added to the manpage at the start of the previous decade. There's still bad advice about -playlist in the XML docs, but I'll remove that later when purging more obsolete/wrong stuff from there. Patch by Uoti Urpala [uau mplayer2 org]

# This is a wrapper around the -identify functionality.
# It is supposed to escape the output properly, so it can be easily
# used in shellscripts by 'eval'ing the output of this script.
