rms wants --varrundir instead of --rundir for the option name. I expect there will be objections to that name because of wanting to use /run. Other ideas?
k P.S. Paolo, you're right about the two parentheticals. I noticed that before I sent the text to rms and made a trivial edit to avoid it.

Now it is clear what these files do. However, the name --rundir is totally misleading. The name /var/run is misleading too, but since it's under /var, people will know it is meant to contain some files made by programs for some sort of case. --rundir lacks that helpful context, so the misleadingness goes uncorrected. It sounds like a way to specify the directory to run some program in. How about --varrundir?
