+Passing TCG plugins arguments through ``arg=`` is redundant is makes the
+command-line less readable, especially when the argument itself consist of a
+name and a value, e.g. ``-plugin plugin_name,arg="arg_name=arg_value"``.
+Therefore, the usage of ``arg`` is redundant. Single-word arguments are treated
+as short-form boolean values, and passed to plugins as ``arg_name=on``.
+However, short-form booleans are deprecated and full explicit ``arg_name=on``
+form is preferred.
