I'm about to (try to) create a list on Starship for this: how does
getopt-alternatives@python.net sound as a place to discuss this issue?

Everyone who has posted on this thread will receive an invitation to
join the list.  (Assuming I can get Mailman to do my bidding, that is.)

Glad I brought the whole thing up though: hopefully something good will
emerge!
