Ah, I have learned something :-) Many thanks, Manuel,
and yes, I would strongly support a change along the
lines of
>> arch add <architecture>
>> Add executables for the specified architecture(s) to the installation.
but only if I have parsed that first line correctly;
as it is currently written, it is impossible to tell
whether the first and/or second "arch" is notion or
metanotion ...
