Sorry this has taken so long. Not sure about adding a new option for this. Maybe we could incorporate them into the long option definitions? Since they can't be symbols anymore it could work

I was just looking for this. (Thanks @brbrady!) It seems proper UX for parameterized args.

In the meantime, we're going to just donkey-punch slop with this patch.
