Would it make sense to have a --paths-file parameter instead that allows reading paths from a given file and honors the convention of reading from stdin with the special argument "-"? Reading from stdin would still only work for one parameter at a time, but paths could also be passed via a regular file or named pipe, allowing for more flexibility.
