I think it is reasonable to assume that users will invoke subsurface 
with multiple filenames when they intend to add to their dive database.

To verify this intention, subsurface could pop up a requester when
invoked with multiple file names, asking "Add specified files to default
dive database <filename>?", if this is ack'ed then first the default
file should be loaded, then the specified files added, and the
save-on-close should then of course also overwrite the default file.

If nack'ed, subsurface should load just the specified files, but not
the default file, and not overwrite the default file on exit.

Why assume a "Documents" folder does exist? IMHO, ~/subsurface/dives.xml
or even ~/subsurface_dives.xml would be better.
