That option being the default now, it could perhaps be actually
removed, but since it is there, and mentionned in the SYNOPSIS, it
should be actually documented.
I don't think this is a good idea either.

This looks really confusing.  This is the default _only_ if files are 
specified on the command line.

IMHO I'd rather remove the option from the synopsis and flag it as 
scheduled for removal in the source instead.
