In the thread Toon too seems to have noticed the same "what if there
is no --all and --single-worktree is given?" gotcha. Together with
the "current would be better name than single", we can consider that
these funnies are to be "consistent" with the "expire" thing, and I
am OK to see us move on. An alternative is to "fix" the behaviour
and naming of the "expire" first, and then use the same improved
behaviour and naming when adding "drop" as a new thing.
Thanks.
