Trent, are you happy for these patches to be applied? They look ok to me 
as a short-term improvement that may well be obsoleted by a proper 
reorganisation of the command-line flags.

The only possible reservation I have is that they introduce yet more 
inconsistent language into the way that command-line arguments are 
negated, and might create more of a legacy to support in future. Does 
anyone else have any opinions on that?
