Hello,
one thing that puzzles me every time I do fossil <command> help is the
presence of question marks for oprtional parameters, as in

% fossil help commit
Usage: fossil commit ?OPTIONS? ?FILE...?

while I would expect it to be like

% fossil help commit
Usage: fossil commit [OPTIONS] [FILE...]

Now, if I get it right the fossil syntax comes from the one used in
tcl, or at least is what I can see in tclsh(1). Is this right? Is
there a particular rationale for this (and any pointer to the
name/conventions of such syntax)?

Thanks,
Luca
