Another possibility is to support

     gpt flip mmc 0 <name 1> <name 2>

where two names are required, with defaults 'primary' and 'backup'.   
Perhaps I should rework patch 5 that way?  I considered this form for 
the original submission, but wasn't sure what other projects might find 
useful.

I will look into adding another patch to do that.   I'm sure such tests 
are a good idea for our project.

Thanks.   I'm sorry to have omitted you, Lukasz, from the original 
submission, but I consulted an old version of MAINTAINERS from my 
original 2015.07.
