My reading is that Merrill is saying that the script cannot override the command line, but that Ian misinterpreted this the other way around, i.e. he thought it means that the commandline cannot override the script. If my reading is correct, then much of the subsequent discussion is moot. It already does what people are asking for it to do. I've confirmed that my conclusion about the behavior is correct, i.e. -D implies readonly, but readonly="true" doesn't prevent the command line from having the first, last, and only say. This is with the July 7th build (0.85.1649), do I can't promise that it's still true.
