Item13203: Need way to save changes made by wizard, in tools/configure

tools/configure will run and report proposed configuration changes ... but doesn't seem to have any way to trigger a save.

the -save option is the equivalent of setting -wizard Save -action save, which overrides a requested wizard. What I'm trying to do document how to configure email from the command line, and it doesn't work.

tools/configure -save -set {WebMasterEmail}='user@email.com'
tools/configure -save -set {SMTP}{MAILHOST}='smtpserver.email.com'
tools/configure -save -set {SMTP}{Username}='userid'
tools/configure -save -set {SMTP}{Password}='password'
tools/configure -wizard AutoConfigureEmail -method autoconfigure

which reports the necessary settings:

  'changes' => {
                 '{SMTP}{MAILHOST}' => 'smtpserver.email.com:587',
                 '{SMTP}{SENDERHOST}' => 'serverhost.mydomain.com',
                 '{Email}{MailMethod}' => 'Net::SMTP (STARTTLS)',
                 '{EnableEmail}' => 1
   }

But if I use the -save option in combination with the wizard, it overrides the wizard, and just reports no changes necessary.

I've tried chaining wizards in tools/configure, but the changes hash seems to be reset, and still nothing gets saved.
