nohup.out placement so inflexible

The nohup man page doesn't even mention the nohup.out file, nor have
an address for bugs.  Not looking at Info today.

Most importantly, how can nohup be so inflexible about where to put
its nohup.out?!  Please allow us to explicitly turn it on and off, and
write to any filename we please, on any directory, and /dev/null.
Gee, so many assumptions about where want this file... as if we can
plop it down wherever we might be.
