   What if we accepted a syntax like "{{{tahoe start DIR -- ARG1 ARG2}}}"
 or "{{{tahoe start -- ARG1 ARG2}}}", and passed all the extra ARG1/ARG2
 strings into {{{twistd.run()}}}? I'd really like if it we had a way to
 pass arbitrary twistd arguments, rather than having to hand-code support
 for each one.

Comment (by meskio):

 I'm having a look to this idea so I don't implement by hand the --pidfile
 for the ticket #2045. What I'm not sure is how to make it consistent with
 tahoe stop. I think tahoe stop should have a --pidfile option, but I'm not
 sure how. Maybe something like:
 {{{
 $ tahoe start . -- --pidfile /run/tahoe.pid
 $ tahoe stop . --pidfile /run/tahoe.pid
 }}}

 To add '--' to the stop command I think will be confusing, because there
 is no call after it to twistd to pass the params. But to have it different
 syntax between start and stop don't looks good.

 Any ideas?
