Yeah, consistency is the most important thing... disappointed in myself for not
catching this over time. Oh well, we can fix it.

I would agree with the deprecation of the colon syntax. I would also be for
adding spaces. This may help people that are building automated tools which
will pass command-line values. We could then document the standards <grin/>

To be fair, it was intention(ish): -cultures is slightly odd in that
order matters so, as I recall, Derek and I spoke about having a single
switch rather than multiple switches (like -b). Not a great decision in
