I recall in my private discussions with Alex that this is more likely
a misunderstanding of the documentation.  The option he was thinking
of was "+p" not "-p".

The option is there, so I think the only bug might be that the
documentation wasn't so clear about the "+" action on options.  I know
I got caught up on it.
