I wouldn't use it day to day shall use, but it could be IMHO useful in shell scripts when: - it will be implemented in all unix os'es - it will standardize program parameters Let's imagine such situation - you need to write portable shell script (I know "portable" and "shell script" is a bad joke ;)) across many os'es: - on OS A you need to use program foo with flag --bar - on OS B you need to use program bas with --foo flag It could be standarised with do.that.thing --most-popular-flag-that-do-the-trick > > This idea will be easy to realize (need to make at first time one rpm > package with lot of symlinks... and then long-time work in all present > rpm-packages for respect this technology).
