Thanks. This was discussed in October 2002 on the list, and there
seemed a pretty clear consensus in favour, so I'll apply this soon.
(One slight objection at that time was the risk of someone coding
"guile %s", and then someone else passing "-x" as the %s, and then
getting unexpected results; but this is addressed by your semantics as
described above.)
