Package: moreutils
Version: 0.66-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/parallel.1.gz

For the moreutils implementation of parallel:

I noticed that the first form of command does not use the shell:

       parallel [options] [command] -- [argument ...]

I noticed that the second form of command *does* use the shell:

       parallel [options] -- [command ...]

Please document both of these in the manual page, so that folks know
that they should not quote commands passed in the first form but always
shell-quote commands passed in the second form.
