I am not convinced it is a good idea, either. "PATCH (WIP)" was the best example I could come up with. I am also a fan of "a list of space separated labels or keywords" you mentioned, but *if* a project convention somewhere is to have them before "PATCH", then it is not entirely unreasonable to wish to have a way to prepend these labels. But I am fine to drop it for the sake of simplicity. It would help discourage users from trying to be "original" in a way that does not make a material difference. If a project comes with a concrete need to prepend, the patch is always resurrectable from the list archive. As to the syntax, I think "-" is a fairly good way to indicate whether it goes to the front or back. When told to "Combine '-RFC' and 'PATCH'", I expect that most people would give 'PATCH-RFC' and not '-RFC PATCH'. Thanks.
