Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2024 01:29:11 -0700

I submitted this "bug" report because I mis-interpreted the docstring,
and because I was approaching this command with a preconceived idea
about how it should work.  I think Eli is right.  I can't think of a
good reason why I would need to stipulate a certain behavior before
calling the command which I can already get at any point while the
command is running.

Thanks everyone for your patience.

Brian
