I must say that I am quite curious about the concept of "consciously omitting options". With most command line programs, I am pretty sure that I am constantly omitting options unconsciously since "omitting" them "consciously" would require that unconsciously calling a program would involve typing every conceivable option in, and only consciousness makes every unneeded option disappear from the command line. I mean, even if my usual way of keyboard entry would be to fall asleep on the keyboard whenever I have to type options, I am pretty sure that I'd miss a few ones by default. -- David Kastrup
