Comment (by zooko):

 Straw man proposal (I'm sleepy!):

 Remove {{{--node-directory}}} from the CLI and document the fact that
 users can write {{{tahoe --node-url=`cat ~/.tahoe/node.url` ls $DIRCAP}}}
 if they wish. This syntax will make it clear to the user who inspects it
 that the {{{tahoe}}} command is not reading the contents of
 {{{~/.tahoe}}} directory aside from the contents of that one file.
