Passing parameters from the command line isn't really the same as what this
discussion is about. But it would also be easy to have a widget callback -
even an interact function - which simply assigns its parameters to global
variables. That should enable precisely the use case described, at the cost
of a few lines of boilerplate, without needing major changes to the widget
API model.
