Yes. (I'll try to add it to es in the near future.)
Back when Byron wrote rc (and I wrote es) there was nary a command which
took '=' as its argument. dd was the most popular, if I remember. But,
these days, all sorts of commands take long options with = instead of
spaces as the argument separator.
Blame it on GNU. :-)
