Nothing happened, because people claimed it was too complex. And it doesn't solve all the _other_ issues where the current behaviour is just painful. That said, I don't care how this gets fixed. If you want to fix it some other way, fine. Just _do_ it, dammit. And make the interface easier to use for incremental changes of existing code. Because no, I don't care about builtin-blame.c in particular either. But I *do* care about the fact that currently it's sometimes a total *bitch* to convert the trivial ad-hoc argument parsing to use parse_options(). It takes effort and thinking. And I seriously doubt that recursive or anything else will help that. But I _guarantee_ that an incremental mode will make it much much easier to do partial conversions of all the easy cases. And _that_ is what I care about.
