So the way I see it by adding this you would save yourself the effort
of typing one character. The question the potential patch writer must
ask himself then is if it be worth the effort to patch the program to
accept this new style of arguement just to save the user from having
to type one more character into their scene file. Reduced to this it
would seem a petty feature.
