Am I the only one going "Eww!" on reading this?
We have three ways of specifying ignores, and we have an option that disregards them, only in one cammand it disregards all of the ways and in two other commands the option only disregards two of the ways.  And we say "sure, that sounds perfect".  It doesn't sound fine to me, it sounds horrible.
What am I missing?
