I think that makes the current help text accurately describe non-interactive
mode.
There are some cases in interactive mode which are obscure (e.g. '-M'
without '-D' or '-L' gets you whatever mode you used last time without
showing you what it was, but I'm not sure if that needs to be here.
Ah, okay. I think I hit this with `-M` and assumed -- evidently
incorrectly -- that the same behaviour would exist for `-q`. I agree
the current text is entirely accurate for the fully non-interactive
mode.

I definitely see no harm in that approach, and I agreed that'd make
things clearer again. But, as above, I think the key thing from my
perspective would be for `-M` and `-q` to have consistent behaviour.
Yes, on reflection, I think that change isn't quite right, and '-M'
should be handled the same as '-q' there (i.e. '-D' & '-L' is the
default, unless explicitly specified otherwise)
