If people need 'less -aics', they can create $HOME/lib/mh-less and stuff
that into the appropriate MH configuration location. Re-inventing
shell command line parsing is an exercise in security holes, let alone
frustration.
Hm. I guess I was thinking that this isn't re-inventing shell parsing
so much as using the shell for parsing; if we were reimplementing even
a subset of shell parsing I'd maybe agree with you, but I don't think
that's the case. And really, we're doing the same thing system() is
doing; I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a moreproc of "less
-aics" to work. Or even a moreproc of "~/bin/myless" to work.
