Embedding username (with or without password) or reading from file are 
incompatible with username-only field. So, the usage you mentioned is not 
supported.

I thought this was obvious as we currently do not support repeating such 
options like auth-user-pass --- i.e when repeated, onlythe last one overwrites 
previous ones. But we can strss this as done in teh commit message.

If user wants  to inline a username in the file, do not use username-only, just 
inline the username and a dummy password. Its already possible an dno chnages 
needed. Adding a dummy password inline is no trouble IMO.

The rationale: The only case where "username-only" is required and useful is 
when no password should be prompted for, and embedding a dummy password is not 
practical: as in common config files for all users and SSO based on 
username/email that we do in some environments.
