     Me too; but that doesn't validate the arguments like Emilio wants.
     E.g.
        mv --dry-run existing-file nonexistent-dir/  # error
        mv --dry-run nonexistent-object somewhere # error
        mv --dry-run object /another/filesystem # diagnostic

         True, it puts the onus of validation in the script,
     under control of the user rather than on the various individual
     programs that the user wants changed.
