or something like that? The number would help to sort them
appropriately, and the string would ensure that you know what each file
is ... perhaps we could have %-escapes in the name to expand to both of
these? Perhaps we could have other %-escapes for things like database
name --- so you could say --multidump-filename=%d.%n.%t.dump ... but
then it would be nice to have strftime escapes too.
Or is this too complex?
Yes, I think it is. We do not have to be infinitely flexible. KISS seems
apposite.
What syntax do you suggest?
How about we use the --file as the prefix?
and just use a postfix of .1 and .2 and .3
seems reasonable.
