Presently, --language takes a text parameter to set a language and --language-neutral is used to remove any specified language.

It would simplify things if --language - could be used to specify a language neutral document instead of having to use --language-neutral.

--language-neutral could then be deprecated.

Since neutral is not a valid language identifier, could neutral be used as an alias for -?

In the case statement of

Modify the code for --language & --language-default as follows:

    siLanguage:
    begin
      var Param := GetStringParameter(Command);
      if (Param = '-') or (Param = 'neutral') then
        fConfig.Language := ''
      else
        fConfig.Language := Param;
      fParamQueue.Dequeue;
    end;
    siLanguageNeutral:
    begin
      fWarnings.Add(
        Format(sDeprecatedCmd, [AdjustCommandName(Command.Name, IsConfigCmd)])
      );
      // modify above warning to say to use `--language -`?
      fConfig.Language := '';
    end;

Added - and neutral options to --language and -l commands and deprecated --language-neutral at commit a1713219e955162c5e11a55ce987aa334189683f
