My question was about the 2nd form only: which of the keywords can or
cannot be used together, and what is the semantics of their
combinations?  I suspect the rules are the same as with the CLI
command, so I think we should either tell that or add a
cross-reference to where that's described for CLI.

That's okay, since the manual says "2 forms", not "2 constructors".
Right?
