  You also can ask me to resubmit them when the first round of parseopt
is merged. I'm actually waiting for that before I work on it again
(that's not the sole reason, $work ate my time as well, so I'm not
pressuring ;P) and I can send those again when things are more ready for
them.

  Like I said to you on IRC, I intend to hack a way to ask parse-options
to dump its options in a machine parseable way, to help {z,ba}sh
completions authors. And obviously I intend to migrate even more
builtins :)
