Now I understand, and it makes sense. I like it.
Those "arguments" are comparable to what we call options, in shell
commands -- not to the arguments. It seems to me that calling them
"options" would increase overall coherence. What do you think of
this?
It occurs to me that this might be a good way to present menu bar menus.
Also, M-! could use this to select options for shell commands.
What do you think of this?
