*> Understood.  But, imo, positional parameter overloading is
*> really Evil. 
*> 
*> For example: I think new users scanning the rrdcgi doc looking
*> to pretty-print 'rrdtool last some.rrd' will skip right past
*> "<RRD::TIMESTR>".
*> 
*> If I scan rrdcgi doc and see "<RRD::TIME::TIMESTR>", I think my
*> reaction would be "ahh, for printing time strings" and my reaction
*> to "<RRD::TIME::LAST>" would be "cool, for printing the last update
*> time for an RRD".

OK got a point there ... 

OK lets do it like that ...

cheers
