A lot of your comments apply to the "something like this" suggestion I
just posted, so I wanted to save a round-trip and say: yes, I agree with
all of your suggestions here.
Adding a command-line option for "all" is a good idea, but will probably
mean needing to add the "unset" sentinel value I mentioned in the other
email.

I agree that's a better name. I'm still on the fence about "transfer"
versus "core".
