On the other hand, Zach's original description of a --quit option is closer to the behaviour of --eval and --load, and therefore perhaps less surprising than the more fancy mechanism.

My current thinking is that I'll implement the original description, but I do not have a particularly strong opinion either way.

Zach (or others): Do you prefer one over the other?
