I'm not gonna be the one to start the debate again, because the last time
we had the debate the only conclusion we reached was that we didn't care
so long as we stopped debating about it over and over and over again.  =-)

IIRC, the conclusion was that least astonishment would kick in if we just
had -X present a "please use -Dfoo" message and exit.

That is also what I recall. I don't care which way we do it, I'm just
fixing the comments to match the code.
