Yeah, matching the --term-{bad,good} and the actual arguments may make it easier to see the correspondence between them. Good idea.

In the old days, back when there weren't "--term-*=<myword>", it was much simpler. All people have to do was to remember that <bad> and <good> are ordered alphabetically.

Will queue.  Thanks.
