Option to exclude the column with the cumulative percentages

Dear Ben,
Of all your fine packages, I use fre about every 5 minutes each time that I work with Stata for my research.
So, not much to complain about fre, but, I do have an option request.
I would like to have the option to not include the column with the cumulative percentages in the result window (matrix etc.), possibly using nocumulative or that abbreviated into noc .
Using the classic example auto data (Chambers, J. M., W. S. Cleveland, B. Kleiner, P. A. Tukey (2018, reprint 1983). Graphical methods for data analysis. CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/9781351072304. Pages 352-355. Originally published by Consumer Reports, April 1979):

. fre rep78
* which reports:

Time permitting, possibly you can implement this option in the ado file of fre.
Best,
