Would you like me to squash into one commit?
Aside: Just for my own education do you happen to know what the "-" argument represents? I included it as the last argument because I've seen it here and elsewhere (e.g. The docstring for python-flymake-command
when it describes how to use flake8
instead of pyflakes
though it this case these are linters and not formatters but I think the argument is serving the same purpose) but I'm not entirely sure what is for and if it is necessary in all cases.
Thanks!

No need. I can do a "squash and merge" from GitHub's UI.

When -
is used instead of a filename, it generally means the program should read from standard input, or write to standard output, instead of using an input or output file. This convention is very common among all kinds of Unix programs.

It almost certainly has the same purpose, yes.

I see. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Perhaps then it or --stdin-filename=stdin
is unnecessary then in that case.

I don't know. That's not astandard convention; it depends on the details of each program.
Removing the "-" and it still works but it seems --stdin-filename=stdin
is necessary and the value must be stdin
.

That makes sense. It often works.

That's weird. The value of --stdin-filename
shouldn't matter.
Thanks! LGTM.
