This would be an incompatible change, though, and given that
csoundCompile() requires the host application to build a
command line, the flags are in some way part of the API (i.e.
changing them can possibly break existing frontends).
Or did you mean creating aliases for all the options that
include a '-' character (although it would be somewhat
confusing to have for example --expression-opt, but having
to use --expression_opt or even -expression_opt in the Mac
frontend) ?
