What Hacker News says?
Yea I would consider this very poorly documented, although I'm sure the authors would be quick to point out how dumb I am for even suggesting that. I bet most ssh users don't even know about the -w option. It even supports layer2 tunnels! And somehow https://wrongthink.link/posts/all-you-need-is-ssh/ does not even mention this usecase.
