Sometimes you think of a third possibility. I would rather change
--auth (yes | no)
to
--auth (yes | no | permissive | inherit)
than change:
--no-auth
to
--no-auth | --auth | --permissive-auth | --inherit-auth
So I prefer the "--keyword value" format for extensibility purposes.
You've confused me (not difficult to do!). Are you suggesting new
options? What would permissive and inherit do?
Oh, I have no idea. Those are examples of the kinds of options someone
might dream up 6 months from now. If we *do* dream up such options,
we're better off using the --auth (yes | no) approach now, so we can
easily extend the options if need be in the future.
