   Thanks!   
      
   If I am allowed to bikeshed a bit, as a user I'd find   
      
        --no-implicit-arch-all   
      
   or   
      
        --no-implicit-archs   
      
   more explicit and easier to spot when looking for that kind of change of   
   semantics. (Inner dialogue: "no implicit arch? which arch is implicit?".)
