Not sure what you mean by breaking argument parsing. I think it's the

without having to run an extra shell process.
It breaks st argument parsing because you have to put -e at the end
and the man page/usage will be cluttered with this "feature".
Also, I'm not sure a command line argument is the best place to write
complex code. A separate script might be a better idea.

I agree with you on that. Furthermore, both urxvt and xterm do it
the same way.

I think it makes sense and people are used to it that way.
I've personally never had to use xterm/urxvt -e option. Oh well. If
everyone wants it, might as well apply it. Anyone against it?
-e feels Wrong every time I use it, but I appreciate it anyway
because quoting is so funky in bourne shell.
That's a "for it," in case I wasn't clear.
