Maven command to list lifecycle phases along with bound goals?

I'm just learning Maven, and so this might be obvious, but I can't find an easy way to list the goals associated for each maven lifecycle phase for a given project.

I saw that the Maven default life cycle phases and corresponding default goals are documented here. My understanding so far is that each pom.xml can bind additional goals to each lifecycle phase.

So, is there a mvn command to determine the goals that will be run for each lifecycle phase for a given project? If not, I guess I just have to look through the pom.xml for each new maven project to figure this out?

mvn help:describe -Dcmd=compile (or any other valid phase)

I put Chad's answer into a script (so I don't have to remember the plugin name which is really long). Put it in your ~/bin/ folder so you can use it anywhere.
