Well explained, thanks for writing this all out :-).

And the diff makes complete sense here, too.

The spacing between "0" and the comma and "ignore-missing" (as well with
"stdin" above, though I didn't notice it when reading the previous
patch) is a little funky.
I suspect that it is carried over from some historical typo from many
years ago, but probably worth fixing while we're thinking about it.
Thanks,
Taylor
