Yes, the former, thanks.

I'm also wondering if it's necessary to have a blurb about NOT
supporting comma-delimited Message-IDs on the CLI, since some
strange Message-IDs may have a comma in them.

Anyways, I'll squash something like this in:

diff --git a/Documentation/public-inbox-extindex.pod b/Documentation/public-inbox-extindex.pod
index 361eb43f..3a2911e2 100644
--- a/Documentation/public-inbox-extindex.pod
+++ b/Documentation/public-inbox-extindex.pod

 C<--dedupe=MSGID> may be specified multiple times to deduplicate
 multiple Message-IDs.
