fromdb/todb: Order of options/arguments shouldn't be as finicky

[tsibley]

These operations are very picky about the order of their arguments, with error messages that seem bogus or are non-sequiturs when the order is wrong. I keep running into this, cursing, and moving on with the task at hand, but I should sit down and make it more liberal in what it accepts!

ugh, as the author of those, I'm embarrassed it works that way, maybe I can look into it soon

Ah no worries, we've all looked back on our own code with embarrassment before, or at least I have. I couldn't care less about blame. :-)
