Hiya,
A colleague pointed out an oddity in journalctl --since today --follow

Hiya,

It seems the two arguments somewhat contradict each other: one asks for
all the output for today and the other asks for all future messages, but
using them together should obviously behave in a somewhat sensible

`--since` is processed first, we don't skip to head.
