Sure, but mkvmerge's use of the @ character actually predates PowerShell (which debuted in 2006). I was talking about when I introduced the feature. Not sure when exactly I introduced the feature, but I found a git commit message from 2005 when I moved the parser function for it to a different file.

That adds another _configuration file_ to parse, not a set of command line options. Not the same thing. Options for parsing additional config files are common for tools that work with config files a lot. And even for those the option names have never been standardized, e.g. "--include" like you wrote for mpv, "--load" for Emacs, "-u" for vim etc. etc.

I don't. That was more of an observation of how things might look if MKVToolNix didn't exist and I was just starting implementing it.
