Research direction
The issue requests extending the '.' command to pass arguments to external scripts. To implement, examine the command handling in the radare2 source, likely in 'core/cmd.c' or similar, where '.' command is processed. Review how the script is currently invoked (e.g., using system() or similar) and modify to pass additional tokens from the command line. The issue comments may contain further design considerations.
