ProgramOptions: --prefixtables <prefix> / -- sufix < suffix>

[cvvergara]

-prefixtables <prefix>
specifics: optional (default value???)
In the help suggest meaningfull prefixes eu_ or mx_
and its a pŕefix to ways
Component of issue: #43

--prefix instead of --prefixtables

Some Q's:
if "multimodal" then tables can have also a predefined suffix?
mx_ways_bus
mx_ways_train
etc.
or multimodal can fit on the same table with an extra column that indicates which kind of transportation???
if the user only wants to do train routing, can it be compulsory _train??, or can he choose??
if he can choose the we also need --sufix
The --help should be clear on what we decide.

@dkastl
prefix or prefixtables?
prefixtables is what is current.

[dkastl]

I would use --prefix because it's shorter.
Is there anything else that could be used for --prefix than for tables?

[cvvergara]

no that I know of.
(correct me if I am wrong) right now length is given in degrees distance also cost & reverse cost.

But I also want the suffix
so a table can go like: (thinking for the future)
eu_ways_sec // sec as in time to traverse the edge in cost & reverse_cost
eu_ways_mts // mts as in meters (the length column filled with meters)

which by the way remind me, in all the documentation of pgRouting edge_table is used instead of ways which is what osm2pgrouting uses.
