Yes, that's not an apt message. But anyway, second thoughts on my part: since "omit" is the most concise command for checking the significance of a regressor or set of regressors, we might as well support the limiting case where all regressors are omitted. (Previously "omit" would fail, not only for a sole regressor, but also where the entire set of k > 1 regressors is omitted.) So that's now in git, with a slight revision of the help for "omit" to match.
