Any takers on proposed names?

Am looking to set-up aliases for the 2.066 release (and deprecate the old-style
switches).

OK, this is my proposal:

--dump=json (-fXf)
--dump=tls (-fd-vtls)
--dump=frontend (-fd-verbose)
--dump=all  (all above)

All the above shall be written to a file, not stderr (this is so that these options never conflct with -pipe)

Files generated by --dump will be written in the working directory where gdc was called from.


--write-ddoc (-fdoc-file)
--write-interfaces (-fintfc)
--write-dependencies (-fmake-deps)
--write-user-dependencies (-fmake-mdeps)

*.ddoc will be added to lang-spec.h as a recognised language file instead of the ugly -fdoc-inc=

Remove -dir= switches, maybe also remove the -file= switches too.

Files generated by --write will be written in the same directory path as the -o file

OK - I think it's may be time to make a push for this.

While I'm at it, lets go for having short DMD-style switches for most things, changing all others to be aliases to the short opts.

-write-interfaces Alias(H)
fintfc Alias(H)
fintfc-dir= Alias(Hd)
fintfc-file= Alias(Hf)

-write-ddoc Alias(D)
fdoc Alias(D)
fdoc-dir= Alias(Dd)
fdoc-file= Alias(Df)

-write-dependencies Alias(MD)
-write-user-dependencies Alias(MMD)
fdeps Alias(M)
fdeps= Alias(MF)

As per earlier comments:
 * --write-xxx will be the new long aliases
 * -fxxx will be documented as "This switch is deprecated; use <short switch>
instead"

The various --dump-xxx commands will be hashed out later.
