74 But I do believe it was your patch that introduced the idea of batch\r
75 processing of other commands to begin with.  I think you're just turning\r
76 my original question to you back on me.  There's no point in adding and\r
77 initial flag to the beginning of the line to specify the command to\r
78 execute if you have no intention of ever supporting other commands.  Or\r
79 vice versa, if you ultimately want to support multiple commands then the\r
80 place to do it is in the top level interface, and not in one of the\r
81 subcommands.\r
82 \r
83 Ultimately, I think this patch series suffers from being simultaneously\r
84 too close to existing functionality (restore), yet tantalizingly close\r
85 to a much more generally useful concept of batch command processing.  I\r
86 would rather see it go one way or the other rather than add something\r
87 fairly redundant in the middle.\r
