Thanks, I’ll use that in the next version if this patch is still
included.

Yeah, because I decided to piggyback on a deprecated command in order to
make the change. So this change moves `--standard-notes` from
“deprecated” to “for internal use”, while `--no-standard-notes`’s status
remains the same, which is “deprecated”.

Unless the symmetry of `--[no-]standard-notes` turns out to be useful.

Like I’ve said before, I would have preferred to find a way to solve
this issue without using an internal switch. But I wasn’t able to.

Cheers
