Not the original poster, but I'd understand if they think
this is "too roundabout" to just express a file mode.

I think #o would have been acceptable, but changing that
now might break a lot of stuff out there (every param
beginning with `#o'?

OTOH, adding special rules for params seems at least as
dangerous.

Are there better ideas?
