At present, modtest has one optional argument (a scalar), mainly used in a time-series context. Allowing for a list makes syntax parsing a bit more complex. But then, a nice opportunity opens: how about replacing "add" and "omit" with "modtest <list> --add" and "modtest <list> --omit", respctively? Clearly, this would be massively backward-incompatible, so obviously it would be a 2.0 thing; still, in the meantime we could keep the two. I like this one too. It fixes the add/omit 'problem' -- as in what to do
