    This should have been a feature 10 years ago

        It wasn’t. It was a hidden feature.

          Is a hidden feature still a feature?

          I’ve been using this daily for many years. It’s behind a CLI flag, is that hidden ?

            Yes, and also no. Usually, I’d call something a feature if non tech savvy users can use it easily. If it’s hidden behind the command line, most users probably can’t use it. So, to me and colloquially, I wouldn’t call it a feature. Although I get the argument for it.
