The only advantage to getflags is that we can say
rcsrcipt -xy
instead of
rcscript -x -y
which is why I use it in my 12 script.

That's actually quite compelling to me. I'd be just in favour of
some kind
of `lazy evaluation' (if some script needs to be changed, put in
getflags;
ditto for new ones.) And I admit that if one is really tght pressed
on space
(which might still happen nowadays, if not nearly as often than a
couple of
years ago) it won't really matter havin to put in some effort to
customise
what's in /bin/rc. I'm still amused by the argument that getflags
is faster,
though.
