Public bug reported:
zorbacmd's "-f -q" arguments are ugly. It would make more sense to
introduce the ability to name query files simply by listing them on the
command line without a leading hyphen-option, eg.
zorba /tmp/foo.xq /tmp/bar.xq
would execute the queries contained in those two files. We could then
deprecate -f, and remove it entirely in Zorba 3.0.
If we do this, we need to ensure that the newly-added ability to use
Zorba as a shebang command in Unix shell scripts also works without
specifying any arguments on the shebang line; that is,
#!/usr/bin/zorba
1
should work and return "1".
-q would remain unchanged for specifying queries directly on the
command-line.
