In general, I think it's a matter of taste, and if you dislike new
commands, it all boils down to finding a suitable syntax to extend the
existing commands. Unfortunately, "-c" (as CPU) is already taken for
count, and "-p" (as processor) is already taken for pointer
dereference. :-(
I can think of:
A. "-C" (but it requires a shift key, and two options that only
differ in case may be confusing)
B. any other random letter ("-a" is free).
Hm, it seems this is the only blocking piece. If nobody has an idea
until tomorrow, I'll just pick '-C', even though I hate both the shift
key and the fact that another command ('irq') uses a different option
('-c') for the same concept.
