Doing that leads to e.g.
.args_type = "protocol:s,password:s,display:-d:,connected:s?",
so there's two different kinds of colons now. It's not a problem
functionality-wise AFAICT, but it might not be ideal. Should I still go
for it?
Also, wouldn't future non-string flag parameters need their own letter
too? What about re-using 's' here instead?
