Correct. The program regutil(1) is now requesting the new parameters.

The registry library doesn't know about or care about what the registry
contains. If it finds what you're looking for, great; if not, it simply
returns an error. Nothing is special: you may add whatever you wish.

May I suggest, however, that you start any non-standard parameter names
with the prefix "/local" to avoid any conflicts.
