Easy enough to change for me; this will be addressed in the next
iteration.

I've used 'apostrophes' to set off these terms (found as literals in the
documentation that's changed) and explained/expanded 'OID' in the commit
message.

Given I also don't know what it means, I'll let you spin this off into a
separate bug report however you see fit :-) Just based on the diff
context available above, it's odd to me also that `-s` apparently does
not take an `<n>` -- whatever that may be.

Always a pleasure :-) Thanks for the review.
