My problem with the documentation is that I *know* IM can do
something, but for the life of me I can't find the magic flag that
does it.  The -help output is too terse to be of any use unless you
already know what the flag does but temporarily forgot its name.  I
think part of this problem stems from the fact that "convert" is a
single utility that does *everything*, so you just run out of good
names for command-line arguments after a while and have to start
picking names that are euphamisms for what is done instead of
something descriptive or intuitive.
