Option to add a loading screen to the tape file? - Felix - 07-11-2013

This may be a hare-brained idea, but ZXBasic already has options to generate a tape file and put an auto-loader on it. Which makes it incredibly convenient. Why not add a little more convenience in the form of an option to put a loading screen on the same tape file (and of course expand the autoloader to handle it)?

Hmmm. Good idea. Something like --use-screen=file :?:
