I hope so.  That's why I deliberately took an option which was unused,
had vague semantic meaning (in line with existing -b* usage) and made it
extensible.

"exim -bI:help" shows what I mean.  :)

"exim -bI:sieve" is the first to provide some use.

There's no reason to not split on a further colon, depending upon what
comes next.

For instance, "exim -bI:maildirquota:[email protected]" might route the
address locally and return data about any Maildir++ quota for the
delivery point.  Hypothetically.  I haven't written that and it's not on
my todo list.

Another approach would be to expose this under -bP.  I only just thought
of that.  Doh.  "exim -bP sieve_extensions" ?

I've no firm preference; if we can't come up with more uses for -bI:*
then we can drop it and switch to -bP.
