In ULX?

As for determining it's optionality based on the previous input string, well, uh, I don't think so.
Megiddo and perhaps MrP/Stickly can weigh in on that.

Yes, command arguments are static. Creating an API for dynamic arguments as you're suggesting would be a nightmare... *shudder*

You can enforce the dynamic aspect yourself by always taking it as a string argument.
