Why -m? I have a script that attempts to ask just this question and I
don't use -m. Reading the documentation, I'm not sure why I would. In
what cases would I get wrong information without -m? For the record, I
also don't use -t, though using -t in this case does make sense to me,
I just apparently didn't notice that bit of the documentation when
writing that feature.
