Just to avoid misunderstanding, when I say "I wonder if we want to
go this route instead", I am open to a response that says "No, we do
not; going that route is worse because ...".  Please do not take it
as a suggestion or request to "do it this way instead".

I may not even favor that other "route" I mention in my message with
"I wonder"; I am merely saying that I cannot come up with that
"because ..."  part to reject it myself, and asking for help from
others.

In this case, I would be happy to hear "Yes, '%p' may merely be a
way to allow taking the pathname at anywhere on the command line,
but that flexibility is important because...".

Thanks.
