Thank you very much! This was an annoying issue for me for a long time
when developing software on a Mac: unit tests were constantly interfering
with the tasks I wanted to perform while they're running.

I use that flag in ImageJ2 and SciJava-common now.

Personally, I have little sympathy for people who think old posts should
not be resurrected, *especially* when somebody spent an effort to add new
information to it.

So: thank you very, very much!
