Glad you like it.

nice takes a single argument, where as ionice takes more:

       ionice [-c class] [-n level] [-t] command [argument...]

So can you show how you would like this to work? Also give an example
of where you cannot just simply put ionice in the command.

I take it that the primary use case is for remote servers - just like
it is for --nice.
