Ohhh, I did use dbstat the other day (several times actually) while working
with some binary files. But yeah, I know there is the -a list, plus the
hidden list. But I'm still happy to know that almost everything I use is at
hand, and that I don't need a cryptic combination or plainly wrong named
commands to do my work, at least compared with... yeah... you know which
"I'm a genius so I'll hack a new one from scratch in less than 2 weeks"
"stupid content tracker" I'm talking about...

Is just that I wanted to avoid a chain of critics about that other. I
honestly believe is a good software, but where it mostly excels is at
confusing the user, even with the ABC. That's my only critic to it. Fossil
is still years light away from confusing anyone that way, but it has gained
a couple of pounds in the last years. I believe there is room for improving
the way you can get references on how to use each command. I believe there
is room for improvements in the online documentation too. I want this email
chain to be around that idea.
