No. I meant the alternate way of specifying a file in Windows:

Actually, I think that specifying the output via --type makes things a
little more structured. We can't go back now, though, because users
would complain. It looks like I should have added a '--type unix' if
I was going to be consistent, though.
I dunno. I don't feel really strongly about this, though. If no one
agrees then I don't mind changing it.

IMO, yes. I'd like more opinions, though.
