Description of problem: Currently, there is no way to pass any options to program maps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All.
I'm not getting any time for this, so I'll reassign it. I haven't heard any further rumblings about this, so I think it's low priority.
One way to allow program maps access to external values would be to set the current macro table values in the environment before execing the program. Someone wanting to pass information would need only to define the value as macros. This would also prevent us having to pollute the map syntax with custom options to define the arguments. Thoughts?
