Bad -cc switch handling logic

Hello, The documentation states that, like many other switches, -cc and -nocc are order specific. I'd like to put forth that this idea, like the "we know best and will sort the message numbers you supplied before display" is flawed from a user's point of view. Specifically with respect to -nocc, the preemption of this switch by a subsequent -cc means there is no way to automate the effect of: -cc all -nocc me by including -nocc me in .mh_profile; a pretty reasonable expectation repl: -noccme with a repl -cc all on the command is invoked as repl -nocc me -cc all which has been decided to mean something else; despite the fact that it is otherwise non-sensical to include any -nocc preceding a -cc all. -- -- Free map of local environmental resources: http://CambridgeMA.GreenMap.org -- MOTD on Prickle-Prickle, the 47th of The Aftermath, in the YOLD 3172: "But we'll never survive!"
