More precisely, it parses trailers from the command line by first
parsing trailers from the configuration. In other words, parsing
trailers from the configuration (independent of the input string!) is a
required dependency for parsing trailers coming from the command line.

If we take a step back, we need to do 3 things:

   (1) parse trailers from the configuration
   (2) parse trailers from the command line
   (3) parse trailers from the input

I think these three should be separated into separate functions. I think
no one wants to combine all three into one function. And I can't think
of a good enough reason to combine (1) and (2) together either. Hence
this patch.

Aside: is "preimage" the status quo before applying the patch?

But only inside interpret-trailers.c, right?
