Interesting. I saw the original message from Miles as "I tried to use
more than one --date, but that seems wrong to me because these concepts
are orthogonal". But I do recognize that it is somewhat a matter of
perception and style.
Anyway, as our one user in this thread, he has said the separate option
is more clear. So I think we should go with that.
