Regarding paragraph 3.6.2 concerning incremental changes:

It's not clear whether the iterate feature is the default, or whether
it's even controllable by the user. At least, my (admittedly small) use
of S2IBIS2 so far suggests that the only way to override the iterate
feature is to rm all the generated files.

I'd like (if it's not already part of the spec, and it doesn't appear to
be) a simple command-line flag or some other simple mechanism to select
iterate or not, as the user chooses. There really are some times when
incremental changes are *NOT* wanted, and I don't think I should have
to rm the files in order to force a full regeneration of a model.
