rake task with easy interface

Question

Right now I can do

rake report shipment_id=5

rake report do
  id = ENV['shipment_id]
end

However I want to simplify the interace to the user by having

rake report 5

How do I do that in rake?

Last resort would be to use ruby and then call rake internally but I want to check if I am missing some feature of rake?

This is pretty close to what you want (but not exactly): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/825748/how-do-i-pass-command-line-arguments-to-a-rake-task/825832#825832 — Brian, Nov 23 '10 at 17:07
