Doesn't this just make it *more* confusing?
Either we document this, and the user will be left wondering why we
have two almost identical (and by the conventions of many other
programs, including git-send-email, *equivalent*) syntaxes doing,
well, something not quite entirely unlike the same.
Or we don't, and the user will eventually typo it and wonder WTF he
just did wrong.
