 No worries.  I went and changed the syntax to `Flags=DiscardPK` in both
 the code and the spec.  Since enough people asked about it, I'm severely
 tempted to go and add the `Detach` flag now as well, and `LIST_ONIONS`
 since it covers the use case you detailed (and a lot of other people
 initially ask about, till I explain why things are this way).

 Applications/users that chose to use `Detach`, and get their HSes snuffled
 out like a guttering candle amidst a typhoon, will be treated to a
 performance of "The Requiem Mass in D minor" on my world's smallest
 violin.
