Just for reference, the current status is
at http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17280 . Clemens, this still won't
support the syntax you and others are used to...
> Well, if a (potential) argument follows '-n', but doesn't match any
of 'ipython', 'sagenb', nor 'default', we should probably default
to 'default'... ;-) (Not to mention it contains an equals sign in the
case here, such that it's pretty clear what's meant, or not meant.)
Yeah, I kind of agree, since even though "it's not a hand-written parser"
it still is an API change.
