It amounts to the same thing. What you're talking about ultimately boils 
down to nothing more than the trivial distinction between:

toolx ...
toola --do-x ...

And if you still prefer the former, that can be trivially created via 
shell alias or a one-liner script.

OTOH, If you're talking about whether action X should be taken by 
default, than that's an entirely orthogonal matter to whether or not it 
can be included in the compiler.
