I'm all for including more in the docs than just having a 
reformat of the man page. And certainly a FAQ would be nice.

I would certainly recommend reconsidering the usage of -e. 
It's definitely more common to erase then program, than 
programming without erasing. Why require a switch for 
common usage?

But I would think that all of these items can be revisited 
post 4.2.0.
