Ah, good point. Although then the follow-up question why is it just
asking
for an unspecified dataset, and not for time series?
That point should now be fixed in git, I believe.

Ah, your ui-maker specifications for list arguments are out-of-date.
The possibilities are: list_no_singleton, list_no_const and
list_exclude. IIRC it was you who requested the "list_" prefix for
