[spambayes-dev] proposal for more uniform option setting from the command line

Sure.  Command line args which are specific to an application and don't
involve modifications to the options database would still be fine.  I'm more
after the "'-d file' means file is a dbhash and '-D file' means file is a
pickle" sort of arg.  These can be dispensed with if the user can set the
appropriate option(s) from the command line in a more general fashion.

This sort of thing might also be useful for at least casual testing.  I have
this asciify_subject option I'm playing with.  I could compare the output of
these two commands:

    sb_filter.py ~/Mail/unsure \
    | egrep -i 'x-spambayes-classification'

    sb_filter.py -o Tokenizer:asciify_subject:True ~/Mail/unsure \
    | egrep -i 'x-spambayes-classification'

to see if it helps push some of my current unsures in the right direction.
