Two aspects of our current toolset _really_ annoy me:

* invoking nightly with "-i" on the command line _turns off lint_, and
* invoking bldenv without "-d" on the command line ignores any
   existing -D in your nightly env file.



This second one is covered by

6414851 bldenv should set -d from env file

I came across this myself just last week while building in a
Mercurial-managed workspace, and it really _really_ annoyed me.



What I would like to do is this:
- resolve 6414851, so that if -D is set in your env file, then
   bldenv does not ignore it, and
- ensure that -i on the command line does not turn off lint if
   -l is specified in your env file.


What do people think about this? I realise these are changes
from fairly long-standing experience but I think they are justified.
