That's the problem. You will break existing Windows users.
I know this goes against the current momentum in qemu, but overloading
one option with a bunch of parameters seems absolutely silly to me.
IMHO, -drive file=foo.img,if=virtio,cache=off should have always been at
least three parameters.
That's fine for command lines. I don't necessarily disagree with you.
But how do you propose to handle paths in monitor commands, when the
path contains a space/quote/whatever as it often does on Windows ("My
Documents", "Program Files")?
Same basic rules apply. The monitor should use shell-style quoting.
