That's technically the same as issuing "--no-recommends" on the command 
line.
Sincs zypper still in 2024 is unable to deal with drop-in config files, 
I'm avoiding changes to zypp.conf as it will conflict with updates all 
the time and just put everything on the command line if possible.

As I wrote, that's not a good workaround for my usecase, as I want 
*some* lang packages, but only a few.
