Control: tags -1 - moreinfo + wontfix
Control: close -1

In general, I think that the number of options currently supported by
aptitude (over 100) and the complexity of its interrelationship is quite
high, and I suspect that most users expect that the options that they
set in curses mode apply also to the command line, except when named
otherwise (there are specific UI and CmdLine options).

I think that complicating this a bit more by adding a layer on top can
create more problems [1] than it solves [2].

[1] users confused about which changes apply to which mode, or
  forgetting that settings on one file don't apply to others

[2] this is 10 years with no seconds, and I don't recall to see any
  other bug report requesting this


So in principle I am not considering doing this unless there's a
compelling reason / example.

So marking as +wontfix and closing, for the reasons above.


Cheers.
