POSIX?) way to name the option, having -s (single dash, single letter option name) --long (double dash, long option name) moreover, by leaving the `format://' specifier as option and by adding some form of autoguessing (inferring the format from the extension it's already pretty common) we can let thi things works _mostly_ as they do today, and that's a plus.
