Really? A --tail option? What's wrong with 'pass foo | sed 1d'?

This tool very explicitly claims to follow the Unix philosophy ("do one
thing, and do it well"); adding too many options will break that
paradigm. A perfect example was my email yesterday about supporting
multiple GPG keys, which somebody pointed out is better done in the GPG
config.

I completely agree with the above. Indeed, I personally would have no
problem doing something like:

  for line in 2 3 4; do pass foo -m "$line"; read; done

to get each line individually, waiting for user input before storing the
next one in the clipboard.
