--binaries-baseurls

is i believe not addressable on the command line for example? i have a branch that changes cli parsing to allow that but i haven’t spent enough time making sure it allows all the same command lines or whether they’re interpreted the same way (recursive options don’t work yet in that branch). it’s not something where the fix is clear quite yet but it also might be the kind of thing that might just stay iffy until someone takes the time to fix it.
