Initially, I didn't want to make any UI change here, but it made it a 
lot easier to think about how map the command line options to solver flags.

But yeah, I wasn't sure if I should change this or not.  I kept it the 
same just to keep the default the same, but that doesn't seem a very 
good reason.

"Test" should probably be something a little less terse, as well.

People seem to sometimes think "Current" means (something like) "Sync", 
when it fact it is (something like) "Best", so perhaps that's another 
reason why a change of name is a good idea.
