 It does ring a bell somewhere, but until recently both uses were implemented
 in makenl_ng. It probably was quite a job, to distinguish between an option
 and a filepath on *nix systems, where now the mainpart of the development
 is done. You may be disappointed, but where there is no money involved, he
 who does the work, decides.
