Should the '<' stdin redirection be shown?

It looks (at first glance) as if this gained a double '< <' at the 
beginning of 'ref-list', rather than being a clean indication of the 
redirection. Perhaps change 'ref-list' to 'ref-list-file' for a slight 
improvement in clarity - this it's only occurance, and the redirection 
would best match a file.
