My guess is that there aren't that many custom postprocs
in the wild. And who knows what's in them.
Have the interface to post(8), and thus postproc, include the
`file' parameter as an environment variable as well. True, this
means post has two places to get the data, but it also keeps simple
filter scripts simple.
Seems reasonable to me; any objections?
I'm not a fan of environment variables, especially when they're
not really needed. And one place to get the data is better than
two.
Though I still think it should be the last argument, otherwise
every postproc author has to solve the same problem.
I don't have strong feelings about this one; thoughts from others?
Fixing it is a simple change.
I agree with Ralph. Putting the filename last is the best fix.
