I'd rate them in descending order of preference as you've written them there.
Basically I think that this new mode is sufficiently oddball that I want to
keep it isolated in its own little corner: I don't want write() to have to
check some extra flag every time in order to figure out what to do. Since
SPEW isn't even slightly an IEEE1284 mode, the third option you gave seems
particularly distasteful. The middle one I could live with, but it doesn't
seem to have all that much going for it.
Anybody else have an opinion?
