Hm, so we now have two options that do something similar, one named 
--delay, the other --initial-delay? That looks rather inconsistent.

Furthermore, it looks silly to rename things --initial-delay just to 
preserve a rarely used option, --no-delay. Instead the better option 
would be to rename --no-delay to --no-buffering, and use --delay and 
use it consistently within the tools.

Thanks,

	Ingo
