Actually, it was based on the patch in attachment 1032 (not 1040) on Bug 2381.

Other names proposed for this new argument included:

init - rejected as potentially confusing

force_methionine - possible, but implies any codon would be allowed even
something that isn't a valid start codon

alt_start - perhaps confusing?
