I noticed something in R --help that needs updating for R 2.1.0

In the changes documentation for R 2.1.0:

  o	BATCH on Unix no longer sets --gui="none" as the X11 module
	is only loaded if needed.

But --gui=none is still documented as acceptable in R --help

[39]% R --version
R 2.1.0 (2005-04-18).
Copyright (C) 2005 R Development Core Team


[40]% R --help

[ output omitted, until]

  -g, --gui=TYPE        Use TYPE as GUI; possible values are 'X11'
                         (default), 'none', 'Tk' and 'gnome'


but,


[41]% R --gui=none
ERROR: unknown GUI none
