One thought I had, is that it would be very nice to break up the -drive
file=foo.img,if=scsi syntax within the config file. In general, I'm
thinking something like:
[drive]
file=foo.img
if=scsi
or:
drive {
file=foo.img
if=scsi
}
or even:
drive:
file=foo.img
if=scsi
Basically, I'm looking for a syntax for sub-options. This would be
useful for -drive or -net but I also think would lay the foundations for
specifying a full machine config.
It would get very unwieldy on the command line to have a large number of
suboptions but it works reasonably well within a config.
