Just to comment on this part: the --params documentation is now part of
the internals manual rather than the user manual (thanks to Sandra for
moving it).  It's always been the case that --params are for experimentation
and can be changed without notice.  The move should make it more explicit.

So I think we should document all --params if we can.  There isn't
really a distinction in principle between "user-facing --params that
people can rely on" and "internal --params that can change at any time".
All --params should belong to the second category.  Things that users
can rely on should be non-param options instead.

Thanks,
Richard
