 That would still make --exec the default and technically it doesn't
matter much if I have to type --no-exec or --exec ';'

 I really am looking for a way to define a default exec value and just
switch on exec when wanted for that default, *not* for turning it off.

 Hope you can understand my preference for the other way round. :)
