Maybe the solution here is to heavily document the fact that you can
pound your system to death using that option, just like using find
(wow, what a surprise ;-)
Then, of course, someone will come along with a program that reads filenames from
a pipe and does the backup, and they'll want --backup-pipe-process=/path/to/executable
or --backup-pipe=/path/to/pipe or --backup-daemon=ipaddr:port . Hmm. Is
that good or bad? ;-)
