I was wondering if all possible combinations are allowed.  It turns out
that for technical implementation reasons it is not possible to have
"(initial) (detached)".

Just something I was wondering about, no need for any change...

Right. I don't think that combination is possible.  Not sure how
to document that succinctly.

I don't think it is something we need to document, at least not here.
