I really dislike the discussion about rcmain. Every rcmain proposal I saw
until now can easily be cheeted on, if rc is invoked with commandline
options of the form '$i', '$p' .. because these may collide with the
variable names used inside rcmain.
This is a potential security hole when such scripts are called by suid
programs.
I am strongly in favour of discussing the topic which switches should be
built into rc and forget about rcmain.
