It was mentioned as deprecated already in commit ae1912cb from
1999. It has not been documented in this millennium.

Even if deprecated, document it so that people will find it as old
scripts may still use it.

The code said "telnet-options" but no documentation ever said so. It
worked fine since the code is fine with a unique match of the first
part.

It has been deprecated and undocumented since commit ad5ead8b (Dec

This regression was brought in with the security fix in commit
79b9d5f1

Closes #655

Closes #716

creation, but it was never set to do that by the command line tool.

Now it does.
