Probably, yeah, Ingo made some point about using --show- for some reason,
Ingo?

One I can think of is that, in general, plain --feature can mean, at
least, one of --enable-feature and --show-feature, so perhaps that is
the point.

But then, perhaps that may be implied by the context, i.e.  when
recording, --feature means enable it, while when reporting, what we're
doing is basically _showing_ things, so --feature means just that.
