It does exactly what it says it does. A bug would be operating against the
defined intention which this is not. Your disagreement with its design
might make it a bug for you personally but not for the project.
Now, if --help doesn't include the notes section maybe we could make it
more clear in each of these optional arguments how they behave directly.
Given you aren't the first to express confusion here - just search the
mailing lists - such a doc tweak would have a decent chance of going in.

Are you just trolling us now? It's been made clear what this option does
and you are seeming to just ignore that reality.
