After having played a bit with the new switches I begun to see the idea. I actually kind of like the ease of use that they give for providing search & replace sort of capability and using extensive array of PHP string functions. For example its quite easy to strip tags from an html file/output: php -d html_errors=1 -i | php -R 'echo strip_tags($argn)."\n";' So provided that you remove large (and imho confusing) output on the bottom of -h I'm +1 on keeping these changes.
