 also this allows to have input= or output= on the front tab even if it can
 be optional due to a flag that prints some info to the terminal and exits.
 Forcing users to specify output=dummy to overcome Req=YES + `--list` style
 flags isn't a very nice solution, when Req=YES is just there to force the
 important option on to the front tab for visibility.


 any thoughts?
