Different arches handle their command lines differently, but with some elbow grease (and some buy-in from the different arch maintainers), we could try unifying the approach here. One difficulty is that the other arches' command lines are not currently "broken", so there's no real incentive to change them. The only thing novel thing I'm adding here is the addition of the leading '!' to allow for an override. This is needed in some x86 cases I'm familiar with, but I've haven't seen any cases where it would be useful for other arches.
