Barring overwhelming demand, I'm just not going to add this functionality.
Dexter's success is going to depend on constraining its focus, which is
getting the naive user without any X server configuration into X with a
minimal requirement of knowledge about his/her hardware and certainly
without any knowledge of the syntax of the XF86Config{-4} file.
Modelines are the deepest of magic. If you want to play with them, then
you belong in a text editor with the XF86Config{-4} file.

Correct; the latest version will not overwrite without being told to do so.
