Hmm -- but then you have to go down the route of:

Style foo MapCommand A, MapCommand B someoptions, \
MapCommand C optionA optionB

Which is fine I suppose, but might get confusing since the ordering is
then enforced on the user.  Is this what you were referring to when
you said many commands?

Yes, the "flashing" is a possibility, although having tested this
quite a bit over the weekend, I can't say I have noticed it at all.
What would you suggest then?  If we keep StartsOnScreen and friends as
separare entities, that doesn't provide a generic solution either.
