In order to do this we could add the -form/-format switches to pick and

scan aliases would break (if -form/-format is not explicitly set for them).
There needs to be really good justification for intentional breakage.
I don't think that departure from the Unix philosophy can be
considered good for nmh.
Agreed. Can't the scan/pick combo be readily done with a shell
function?
