I vote to include it.  

I am trying to write a perl script that automates indexing and can not
seem to get my piped perl script to operate through a perl system
command call.  I keep on getting the message " No such file or
directory" even though it is working fine from the command prompt. 

I am still working on it so maybe I will figure it out.

Paul, it bugged me too, so one day I actually started to add it then
remembered about the -i stdin method and decided it wasn't needed for
that
reason.  Ever since that day I've been piping my -S progs into swish.

Also:

   ./prog --option=foo -x -y -v | ./swish-e -S prog -i stdin

is clear where

  ./swish-e -S prog -i ./prog -o '--option=foo -x -y -v'

is a bit confusing (to read and probably to swish-e's switch parser) --
is
-v for swish or for ./prog?
