2547	it is too confusing that --basedir works for some commands and not others	daira		"`-d`/`--node-directory` works for all commands, and for ""stub"" node directories containing only `node.url` and maybe `private/aliases`.

`-C`/`--basedir` only works for commands that create or start/restart/stop nodes.

The positions in which `-d` and `-C` are accepted vary, IIRC.
