From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <redacted> This option was introduced in a series of commits from fe3ccc7aab (Merge branch 'ps/config-subcommands', 2024-05-15) and deprecated `value-pattern`. But `value-pattern` is still used throughout the doc. The deprecated modes have been quarantined in the “Deprecated Modes” section. So let’s only use `--value=<pattern>` in the rest of the doc.
