Of course it's not a hard and fast rule; the benefit of the code has to
be weighed with the code quantity to decide whether it's worthwhile. I
haven't seen the code for --tail, but given your above proposed
use-case, and the fact that Jonas stated that is the author's intended
purpose makes me reconsider my stance on this; it does sound like a
commen enough use-case that it would be worth implementing inside pass.

For my part, in the immediate term I'd probably just write a shell
function:

  passt(){ pass -c "$1"; pass "$1" | sed 1d;}

But for every pass user to have to do this is a bit ridiculous when it
could be done within pass.
