So, how about we make both --fatal-step and --verbose-step accept
either a step number or step name.
Didn't I hear someone recently remark, "Simplification is a good idea"?

This is doable, but it will take me at least 9 separate test files to
thoroughly test it.
Understood. Usability is important, though, especially in the part of
the system that will be the first thing many users see of Parrot. Making
the config process friendly to the average human is worth a little extra
work in testing.
Now, if you said it was impossible to test, that'd be a different
matter. But this isn't impossible to test, just tedious to test. And
some of the tedium can be relieved by generating the (nearly identical)
tests for each step from a template.
