-i/--stdin does not do what it says

[Fabrice BAUZAC-STEHLY]

Hello,

In mcron 1.2.0, mcron --help says:

  -i, --stdin=(guile|vixie)  Format of data passed as standard input or file
                             arguments (default guile)

As I understand it, it says that it applies on filenames on the
commandline, e.g.

  mcron --stdin=vixie myfile

"myfile" will be interpreted as being in vixie format.

But in practice this option only applies to standard input, not to
filenames on the commandline:

In the code (mcron.scm), %process-files calls process-user-file with
the guile-syntax?  parameter set to #t, effectively ignoring the
option.

The texinfo documentation also only talks about standard input:

  '-i (vixie|guile)'
  '--stdin=(vixie|guile)'
       This option is used to indicate whether the configuration
       information being passed on the standard input is in Vixie
       format or Guile format.  Guile is the default.

So I guess some fix is in order, either to let the option apply to
filenames on the commandline, or to fix the "--help" message...?  Which
way is it?

Thanks!

Best regards
