Maybe if dig didn't have the world's most convoluted and non-standard
options processing, more people would embrace it.

I still have to look up the dig manual every time I use it because
whomever wrote it decided to abandon standard UNIX options types and
instead came up with this bizarre combination of options followed by
host names followed by options followed by @ signs followed by options
followed by host names.

Yeesh.
