As I said, I have no objection to supporting this behavior as an
option, especially since you believe (and I have no reason to doubt)
that others could like it.  Please don't feel discouraged that both
Juri and myself don't share your preferences: we are just 2 people.

I don't think what you suggest is really a 3rd command, it's more like
a minor variant of one of the 2 existing commands.  So I see no reason
to withdraw your proposal, certainly not because of the above.

Thanks.
