	Could someone who's on the development team provide the reason behind
this change?  I don't really understand it, and don't understand why the old
method of an option in the .elmrc was any worse.  (In fact, I felt it better.)
True, I've already gotten used to it, but it is more cumbersome, and doesn't
seem to provide any additional benefit.  Thanks.
