2) I've added something Jack suggested: a --permanent option to

which substitutes the restricted dataset for the original. This will need
some testing. Right now it's not available in the context of just moving
the sample end-points: it's valid only in association with the options
--restrict, --dummy, --no-missing or --random.
I very welcome the change, but it had a very nasty side effect. The
options --restrict and --dummy are now marked as incompatible, whereas
they happily worked together before. This change broke some of my scripts,
which I'm now working to update. I don't know what the best thing to do
is: this isn't, strictly speaking, a backwards-incompatible change, but
the effect it has is the same.
