When work was being done on #5053, I happened to review the current zq docs on the topic and was surprised to see the -query flag mentioned. As described in #5052, I then realized the flag was documented but never implemented. I briefly thought it might be useful to hurry up and implement it so it could be mentioned in the error messages proposed in #5053, but in the end I'm happy with where that landed without -query existing.
Since the "rare surprise" disclosed in the docs is still a valid exposure, I'd be fine with opening an issue as a reminder that we could go back and implement -query at some point in the future. But for now it's not serving our users to mention something in the docs that doesn't exist, so here I'm proposing dropping it from the docs for now.
