$ wwwoffle URL always gets a fresh copy from the net, but doesn't put
it on stdout. #Full yank, 2 line spray
$ wwwoffle -o URL only gets a fresh copy from the net but e.g., only once a day, but
does put it on stdout. #Frugal yank, big spray

Therefore if one wants a combination, one must do
$ wwwoffle -o URL > /dev/null #Frugal yank, no spray
Alas, must send the bytes to /dev/null, as no exact options are available.

and

$ wwwoffle URL > /dev/null; wwwoffle -o URL #Full yank, big spray
I'd say that -f -o should be allowed.
