Missing command line argument to show/hide the terminal window

Description

There is a command line argument to toggle the visibility of the window (-t), but I can't find an argument to specifically show/hide the window. Something like this:

guake --foo=show
guake --foo=hide
guake -f s
guake -f h

If it is implemented, it should be somehow written in the man page or the help page (guake --help).

I am using Debian Testing, with Guake 0.4.3-2.

Humm, good point! Do you think that adding an option to show the current state would be enough? This way you would know if it is open or not and then call guake with the '-t' flag accordingly.

version changed from 0.4 to 0.4.3

Well, I guess it can be done this way, though I believe it will be a bit complicated solution to a simple problem. Anyway, it is better than nothing, so adding an option to show the current state would be great too.
