#### rewrite vs. print --auto
This command predates print --auto, and currently does much the same thing,
but with these differences:
- with multiple files, rewrite lets rules in any file affect all other files.
print --auto uses standard directive scoping; rules affect only child files.
- rewrite's query limits which transactions can be rewritten; all are printed.
print --auto's query limits which transactions are printed.
- rewrite applies rules specified on command line or in the journal.
print --auto applies rules specified in the journal.
