Uh, I just read a few different ideas about what to name the option. I don't
see how that's a major concern at all. Let's focus on the functionality
instead. What exactly are you suggesting the feature should do/work like? Can
you possibly post a first patch?
Then we can argue on how to name the option. I would probably argue that a
--output replacement migth be a good idea. Like --output-safe or what not.
