Thanks for a reasoned argument and a reasonable justification. I agree with all that. I think it is probably a good idea to document the behaviour (i.e. "--no-create" single-shot from the command line is ignored). I am not sure we should error out, though, in order to "disallow" it---a documented silent no-op may be sufficient.
