Ah, yes, I see now what you meant.

'a' can be done with another cli switch, 'c' already exists, so we're back 
to 'b', having a new process honour the existing state of our 'Append to 
playlist' config option.

So you're right, something'll will have to be done at the IPC level 
(unless we just go with the save_config() hack).

If any of the core developers are listening maybe they could provide some 
insight?
