Thanks! Didn't know that!

But it seems this is specific to --config only and not for other
similar options.

For example,
I have `logfile = wget.log` in my .wgetrc along with other commands.
And now I want to override this specific .wgetrc configuration and
would like wget to show log on terminal (default behavior). How do I
do that?

1. There is no `--no-output-file` to achieve this.

2. --output-file="" makes wget exit without downloading the document
and spitting out an error about there being no such file or directory.

Of course, as you suggested I can create an another rc file for this
specific use case containing all of .wgetrc but this specific command.
But then there as other similar options as well and so this doesn't
look scalable.

May be we should accommodate 1. or 2. or may be both?
