Right, that's what I have here now. I should have said that.

I was not trying to excuse anything, but more explaining the situation
when reading the second sentence. (You seem to assume I'd want to rewrite
all the shell scripts. Which I am not)

I think it is a reasonable way to spend your time by not rewriting
everything in C but the parts the matter the most.  But it makes it
even more important to do the part that will be left in shell for a
longer time in such a way that will be helpful to the end users (by
accepting both "--group name" and "--group=name", in the codepath
under discussion).
