I'm fine with that, let see what the others think ;)
Personally I prefer the singular - then its simple and you don't have to remember whether you can or can't specify more than one argument - nor do you have to then rename things if you later on change the argument processing on a command. e.g. folks often start / stop a single bundle. It feels weird to have to type bundles:start 44 In unix you don't type "greps" or "mores" when they can support more than one argument. -- James ------- FuseSource Email: ja...@fusesource.com Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: jstrachan, fusenews Blog: http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration and Messaging
