"not acceptable" is perhaps a bit strong ;) If I had my druthers,
though, neither the '=' nor the quotes would be necessary. Selfishly,
this will help me keep my command lines consistent with older
applications. More generally, though, I think it adds flexibility to
the library without much extra work or complication.

Of course, there are almost certainly issues I'm not taking into
account that make my request unworkable.
