I think this is confusing to many people and is more likely to have
unintended consequences. Most users don't consider CLI option
ordering to have special meaning. Personally, I prefer Stephen's
suggestion of directly linking the filter to the interface ala -i
en0:"sctp && host a.b.c.d" if you want to get fancy.
It also means the old style cli args could easliy be grand-fathered in
(any interface without a specific filter uses the global filter).
I you do decide to go this way, ':' might not be the best delimiter
character to use. It is already used in libpcap interface names and
could cause parsing headaches.
I think some OSes use ':' in vlan interface names? Also ':' is used in
dag interface names to indicate sub streams, e.g. "dag0:2".
