Simply accepting multiple `-i` options would be enough, no need for special characters. In addition, inventory locations could be URLs in addition to file locations. That would decouple the inventory so it can be easily distributed to new machines etc. Obviously the inventory script could download a URL, but that still requires a local executable to be created and maintained.
