Hi!
Given the fact that we already have a lot of options and we might need some more -P "suboptions" in the future (e.g. "temp", "plugin", ...), I was simply assuming that in the long run we're running out of letters. There might be other options in the future also in a need for a letter. So having a "suboption" under -P seemed a good idea to me. As -a and -b already working similiar, I didn't even invented a new mechanism for it.
BTW: I don't see any reason to call it clean or unclean anyway ...
Regards, ULFL
