I spent part of yesterday and all day today working on this and I can't make the attached patch work... No matter what I do, the Param with the 'optional_create' flag is never actually optional. There is no failure, it just doesn't work. Any thoughts? As a hint, the code in cli.py and frontend.py seems to call cmd.args() rather than cmd.get_args(). Though, when I changed this it seemed to break stuff. There seems to be lots of Python magic going on here via the NameSpace class and I can't quite follow the logic. Nathaniel
