We already had task-specific parameters (such as inventory-only 
parameters), now we have task-and-target-specific parameters, which only 
apply to a specific task applied to a specific target... May I suggest 
to add for instance --stdout-inventory-no-printer option, for excluding 
printers from the inventory, but only when run against 'stderr' target ?

That's really not the way to go for genericity. If you really need to 
have target-specific results, you should run the agent multiple times, 
with distinct parameters. Especially for this use case: if you want 
local inventory files, you'd rather run the agent from a cron/scheduled 
task, rather than run it as a server.

The current execution model is ugly, and this kind of workaround won't 
help fixing it.
