What about parsing such cmdline options as -d -i379G+ -s17k- meaning
rounding up and down? And without + or - use current processing

Second idea - to round -i to lesser value (down) and -s value UP - to
read more data.

The "+-" idea seems confusing. Either leaving the current behaviour or implementing your second idea seem both better and easier.

I am fighting with the idea of reading beyond domain limits, but failing the partial reads in direct mode does not seem a much better solution.

As nobody has complained (yet), I think I'll implement your second idea.


Thanks and regards,
Antonio.
