Plus I'm not sure that
'-I REPLACE-STR'
'--replace[=REPLACE-STR]'
'-i[REPLACE-STR]'
Replace occurrences of REPLACE-STR in the initial arguments with
names read from standard input. Also, unquoted blanks do not
terminate arguments; instead, the input is
OK.
But I now "demand" that xargs add a --show-quoting or whatever argument,
so that --verbose, and -p, will now show
'xdotool' 'mousemove' '0 0' 'click' '1' 'mousemove' 'restore' ?...
vs.
'xdotool' 'mousemove' '0' '0' 'click' '1' 'mousemove' 'restore' ?...
for people who care about those details,
