I think it needs to do the same thing whether it's in standalone mode or
not. Least surprise. Also folks might want to test in standalone mode with the
same basic configuration that they use with an ensemble size > 1. They'd want
the same behavior. I'd say it should work the same regardless whether it's
standalone or not.---
