 These predate -I -L and -E (the POSIX versions) and are documented to
 be obsolete in the linux man page. Although our getopt supports optional
 arguments now, it is not worth it in my opinion to emulate obsolete behavior.
 
 This PR is another proof to my theorem: Wait long enough and every problem
 gets magically fixed.
