I suggest to rather call the new option in accordance to your description, say, --no-flatten, --keep-topology, or --preserve-shape. Besides, this way the option name will only specify one thing: _what_ it is about, leaving out the _how_ part, that could vary and could then be specified as option value or as another companion option(s), that is usually considered to be an indication of a good design. -- Sergey
