Sorry for sounding rude. It's not my usual nature, believe me.. ;) 
Well, I'm surely mistaken in this regard. Why would I pass such
a sweeping statement, I don't know a thing about command lines
anyway, coming from a Macintosh background. Sorry...

That said, I am not an authority on command lines so I welcome
anyone who might want to tackle this. I (we) will give full support
to anyone interested, including, but not limited to framework support
for things such as partial-keyword-matching. Experience in this area 
will definitely be beneficial to many.

Sorry too, I've not been following boost messages closely.
