I think you'd have to change this in a backward compatible way. A counter proposal would be to add name:domain (simply change the '@' to a ':') so it doesn't look like an email address. Continue to support the original argument syntax for backward compatibility, but change the documentation to favor the name:domain syntax. -Barry
