Well, if you have a better word for "--now" I am all ears. All I know
is that I want it to be *one* option, and that it should apply to
enable/disable/mask (and maybe preset). How precisely it is named, is
a different question, and if we can find something better than
"--now", then i'd be totally willing to rename it!
