I want a setting to define the default behavior.
I want a set of arguments to override the default behavior.
Note, if this is implemented in a 1.x version of WinGet, the default behavior would be in the "engine" mode above to not break existing automation.
Otherwise, this would be considered a breaking change in behavior and would be part of:
