is augment the proper term here? Normally that refers to "adding additional value/capabilities" to something.
What do you think about "join"? This way it's clear that they ultimately end up in the same option set, as if they were all provided at the same time.
| Options with the same name, previously pushed with <tt>PUSH_REPLY</tt> or <tt>PUSH_UPDATE</tt>, are replaced. | ||
| For instance, the following command removes all existing routes and adds two new routes: | ||
| <sourcecode> | ||
| PUSH_UPDATE,route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0,route 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 |
| <t> | ||
| To remove an option, it should be prefixed with <tt>-</tt>. The following example removes all existing <tt>dns</tt> options: | ||
| <sourcecode> | ||
| PUSH_UPDATE,-dns |
| they can be ignored, and the client does not have to reconnect. This also applies to removal. Example syntax: | ||
| <sourcecode> | ||
| PUSH_UPDATE,-?block-ipv6 | ||
| PUSH_UPDATE,-?block-ipv6 |
| Here client should remove <tt>block-ipv6</tt> option. However, if client does not support updating it, it does not need to reconnect. | ||
| </t> | ||
| Here, the client should remove the <tt>block-ipv6</tt> option. However, if the client does not support updating it, it does not need to reconnect. | ||
| Note that the only valid syntax for removing options without reconnecting on failure is <tt>-?option-name</tt>. |

can we spell out that the '-' should always come before the '?' ?
