You could allow both and combine the keyword with the eyecatcher:

PRE foo=bar POST baz=quux

where you allow one or both or PRE/POST but require at least one of
them to be the first word to act as eyecatcher. You may also want to
think up better keywords than PRE and POST--short enough not to take
up to many of the precious 64 chars but long enough to be meaningful.
