 Initially, I was slightly confused by the difference between {{{tahoe
 run}}} and {{{tahoe start}}}. Of course, reading the docs clears it up,
 but I can foresee getting the two mixed up in future, especially during
 late nights. {{{:)}}}

 Generalising from experience, most applications either fork by default and
 have a flag to stop it forking, or don't fork by default, and have a flag
 to fork if the user desires. So it's a switch, rather than separate
 commands.

 I suggest adding either the {{{tahoe start --daemon}}} or {{{tahoe start
 --foreground}}} switches. The former if you want foreground to be default,
 or the latter if you want daemonising to be default.

 Not sure if it conflicts with any other switches, but {{{-d}}} and
 {{{-f}}} are choicy short versions of the above.

 Any thoughts?
