and being at this, we would like a command flag "-rcfile <file>" to solely use another rcfile.
That could be an interesting option, though I'm trying to keep in mind that there will be a pdrc editor dialog real soon now and what would be a good way for that dialog to handle -rcfile and defaults and fallbacks/merges/overrides/however-we-call-it, in a friendly manner...
Actually I was thinking of -rcfile as "including" another rcfile, which would be doable from inside another rcfile, just like all other options can be put in an rcfile (though I admit it's weird to put -listdev or -help in an rcfile... heh)
I wasn't exactly thinking of the possibility of using a given rcfile _instead_ of the default rcfile lookup, and actually, both behaviours seem to be useful in some way... so would we need two options for that or...?
