Yes. It would be very helpful for users if both versions of the tool
behaved in the same way and supported the same options.
Are you volunteering to submit a patch to add this behaviour ?
(I ask because I am lazy/busy and if you are willing to do the work
then that would be grand. But if not, then I will take on the task
