It would be practical to have an option that automatically mounts or extract the latest archive in a repository instead of requiring user to specify the archive name. This way the same command could be reuse without changes (easier to alias).

Examples:

borgmatic extract --latest
borgmatic mount --repository repo.borg --latest --mount-point /mnt

That's a fantastic idea.. and something that I've often wanted myself. I think the syntax I'd use though is --archive latest, just for ease/consistency of argument parsing. And I could imagine this working for all actions that take an --archive argument, not just extract and mount.
