That's a very narrow view of 'command line options'. It is better I believe to think of them as named parameters, some of which may be required and some optional.

Considering he's the author of the module, he may have an as narrow minded view as he wishes. He made his work available for others to use, if you don't like the module, you have the freedom to write your own, and then you can treat options to not be optional.	[reply]
