The call is a bit late for Bharata but I think copying is the way to go.

Something I've been thinking about since this discussion started
though.  Maybe we could standardize on using URIs as short-hand syntax
for backends.

For example:

qemu -hda file:///foo.img

Or:

qemu -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=tap:///vnet0?script=/etc/qemu-ifup

Or:

qemu -device \
      isa-serial,index=0,chr=tcp://localhost:1025/?server=on&wait=off

This works particularly well with a "treat unknown options as -device"
mechanism so that we could do:

qemu -isa-serial chr=tcp://localhost:1025/?server=on&wait=off

We could even introduce a secondary implied option to shorten this
further to:

qemu -isa-serial tcp://localhost:1025/?server=on&wait=off
