There are some application invocations at the moment that don't explicitly 
indicate file outputs, though.

For example, some of the fmri apps output a .hdr file and a .img file with 
the same base name and take only a .hdr filename as command-line parameter 
- its 'good' behaviour that an output parameter isn't explicitly 
mentioned.

There's a bunch of stuff that could be done to the application description 
constructs in SwiftScript. However, as it is so far work-aroundable (as 
in, fix the bug in your swiftscript), its automatically deprioritised.
