About more loose parameter sequence requirement

Hi David,

I understand that btrfs-progs introduced restrict parameter/option order
to distinguish global and sub-command parameter/option.

However it's really annoying if one just want to append some new options
to previous command:

E.g.
# btrfs check /dev/data/btrfs
# !! --check-data-csum

The last command will fail as current btrfs-progs doesn't allow any
option after parameter.


Despite the requirement to distinguish global and subcommand
option/parameter, is there any other requirement for such restrict
option-first-parameter-last policy?

If I could implement a enhanced getopt to allow more loose order inside
subcomand while still can distinguish global option, will it be accepted
(if it's quality is acceptable) ?

Thanks,
Qu
