Makes sense, I completely agree.

Do we need the 'if test -z "$command"'? This is in a 'while test $# != 0
&& test -z "$command"' loop, so it seems unnecessary. I've tried
removing it and it seems to work just fine.

Now that there's only a single opt in each of these tests, do we still
want to keep the for loop?
