I am just watching this from the sidelines, but it seems to me that you
are best off creating the directives as modular and orthogonal as
possible.  It is very simple to create "pick $1; edit" from "pick --edit
$1" later, but it is more difficult to go the other way around.

IOW, worry early about flexibility, and later you can build syntactic
sugar if you need to.
