Consider the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRS8MkLhQmM as an example.

$ youtube-dl --sub-lang=en --write-sub --simulate $url
$ youtube-dl --sub-lang=en --write-sub --get-url $url

The former command will not download the subtitles, the latter command will download the subtitles and print the URL. I would have expected neither of them to download the subtitles.

youtube-dl --help suggests that the --get-* options in the Verbosity / Simulation section imply --simulate, but this is not the case. I am not sure if this is expected behavior.
