There was never such a suggestion. It's a misunderstanding if you
think such a proposal was on the table.

Assuming the user invokes the command several times in the same
session. But that isn't a given, not at all. For one-off
invocations, having to set a variable is a nuisance. Compare with
"C-x d", for example.

I _am_ familiar with that language. So for me and others like me,
being able to specify command-line options in one-off invocations is a
boon.
Of course, if I'm the only one interested in such a feature, so be it.
