I fully agree with you. What I was trying to say, if we have a facility
to call user-defineable external commands, it simply doesn't matter
whether this command is single line command or a somewhat more complex
command, which itself calls 'cc', etc. As long as there's a safe
default, just everybody can stick with it. Those (like me) who'd like to
define some non-default value can shoot in their feet with every flavor
they want. One of the nice features of a swiss army knife is that you
can retract the blades before putting it the pocket. But you don't have
too ;-)
