shelve --list is the bzr command, which is a new shelf implementation.
shelf list is the old bzrtools command, and has been renamed to "shelf1
list".

It's gone in modern versions of bzr and bzrtools.

The bzr unshelve implementation does allow a shelf id to be specified.
It does not support multiple shelves.

The bzrtools implementation allows you to specify the changes to be
unshelved. To switch between shelves, you use "bzr shelf1 switch".
