I've checked, and you added the /smartquote and /notearline user
parameters in your forks, but /flowed (like /showto) was already present in the original.

I thought it could be better to use shorter parameter names, like
/flowed and /showto. I also didn't like the term "smartquote" (I would
have preferred something like "fidoquote" or "ftnquote"). Still, I may
change /squote to /smartquote like in your version.
