But the thing is that "worktree --orphan" that wants to implicitly
infer the name of the branch out of the basename of the worktree
cannot be sensibly modeled after "switch" or "checkout" that do not
have such a dwimmery.

In any case, fixing UI mistakes after the fact is always painful
once it is in the released version. When we know there is a new UI
mistake in an unreleased version, it is sensible to grab the rare
opportunity that we can avoid such a costly fixes later.

So, I am not quite convinced by what you said, at least not yet.

Thanks.
