LFUN Option Syntax
A couple weeks ago, there was some talk about reworking the syntax of the arguments passed to LFUNs. At present, it is a bit of a mess. Here's a suggestion: Why not just have these in the standard GNU form, with short (or even long) options? There are plenty of libraries for parsing such options, and some of these presumably would handle quotes and such automatically. Since they would only need to be called where there are options to be passed, that shouldn't slow things down appreciably, I wouldn't think. Thoughts?
