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.
