I don't mind the "--objects=xxx" format per se, but it would need to 
verify that the "=xxx" was either valid or wasn't there at all. So what I 
objected to was not that it was easy to mis-spell, but that if misspelled, 
the program wouldn't point it out as an error, but silently just do the 
wrong thing.
