Can you add this to the refguide?  This is among the cooler new features in
Nmap 6.40, but folks won't know about it if undocumented.  It should
probably be added to the Nmap usage screen too if you can figure out how to
do so without taking up many lines.

Cheers,
Fyodor (who, as you can probably tell, is working on the Nmap 6.40 release
