If we want to reach this point eventually, given that --reset was not in
any released version, and also given that we are deep in pre-release
phase, we probably should either just apply the first one (and perhaps
this one) from the series immediately before 1.7.8 final, or delay the
final and swallow the entire series.

I am not quite convinced that quit is *that* superiour over reset
though. The description in 1/3 "has a confusing name" does not say why it
is confusing, either, to help readers agree with the conclusion.
