description of command-line options
* make the acceptable arguments for --buffering explicit in the table
by dropping <mode> and writing [no|line|full] explicitly
==> this means that the table (A3.1) now gives a full description
of the syntax, without needing to page ahead to the text description
to see what <mode> can be
* ditto in the text description
