IMHO, too long for such a common task even if it looks rather good. I believe unlimited parallel should and will be used much more frequently than limited parallel (at least in the context of makefiles since their parallel is dependency based, i.e. either safe on all levels or not safe at all). What about just --parallel (the name used in parallel branch) as an alias to --max-parallel and allowing optional arg? I know you don't like aliases but... in documentation, it could something among the lines of: --parallel Allow building in parallel. No limit on the number of maximum concurrent processes is imposed. --max-parallel=N. Allow building in parallel. Number of maximum concurrent process is limited to N. If N is 1, parallel building is disallowed. -- Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>
