It is somewhat ironic to have an accidental E-Mail send given the patch
subject :)

Glad to see a follow-up to this. Thanks.

I squinted a bit at this and wonder now that we don't have that ternary
whether we can simplify this a bit.

Isn't this the same now as:

    my $confirm_unconfigured = !defined $confirm;
    $confirm ||= 'always'; # well, defined-or, but I don't think we care here.

But probably not worth obsessing over it... :) I.e. it seems fine as-is.

It looks like we're losing some coverage here (I may be wrong). I.e. yes
we should update tests and descriptions, but for lines that test what we
did with a given command-line before let's turn those into tests that
positively assert what we do now.

I.e. we lost the "--suppress-cc=sob" test (with no other option), and
also "--suppress-cc=all --compose"?
