What I'm more concerned about is that after we've merged your patch, it isn't possible to pass multiple parameters at the end of the command. There might be (I have no example as of today) some things we want to do in the future that can't be done an other way than passing a list of arguments at the end of the command and your patch prevent doing so in the future.
Fair comment... I was really just following what was already there for env export (so much so I could cut'n'paste the documentation changes).
We can do it now with a single option (-w or whatever letter we want to use) so I guess it's better to leave the option for cases that really require to have a list of parameters passed to the command.
I really don't like magic variables that get used invisibly, though I guess you could pass a variable in.
