I'm not so sure. I think a lot of people who did --match '\.html$' would be miffed when they discover that the match fails on "index.html?foo=bar". It depends somewhat on the site, but I think in general :s-p: will be less surprising than :url:. BTW, I'm starting to think "-" was a poor choice... it'd be nice to reserve that for possible use in component names. Maybe :s..p: is the best way to go after all.

Maybe by requiring the '::'? I'm not crazy about that. It would save us the consumption of new short-options, but... I'm not sure I can identify what my objection is; obviously it'd break any previous scripts that happen to match that pattern, but that has gotta be pretty frikkin' rare. - -- Micah J.
