I agree that this would be the most logical. But there is a problem with backward compatibility. The behaviour of --use-compress-program will change.. what about this: -I, --use-filter-program (general 'vanilla' API) --use-compress-program (obsoleted alias to ^^^) // remove from --help & man & info to not confuse people --use-compress-like-program (with a *proper* definition what it does) // or choose a better name?
