Oh, ok, sorry for wading into an already open issue without the
background.
On reflection perhaps I'm overthinking it. It seems to me that it is
fine for these command line options to be defined based on whatever
seems convenient.
For "real" scripting, a script file could be used. Maybe we could
finally land that try/catch patch, or the ignore-errors command.
Or, longer term, finally make it possible to really script with Python.
