That is another interesting argument. I understood that the issue was
having to type these options, but now it is also to remember which one are
relevant and wanted, which is a little different and more justifiable as

On that account, ISTM that '|' as a field separator is debatable, that
pager should be turned off... and maybe a few other things.
