The point is that not all of those xterm command line arguments are
configuration.  Some are behavior. There's no hard and fast line
between those categories, but in general, configuration is relatively
static, while behavior is dynamic - as in, very likely to be different
every time you open a new window.

Admittedly, "run this command" (-e) and "use this title" (-title/-T)
are the only two examples that spring to mind.   I just think it's
important to think of it categorically rather than "just -e".
